winkey.desktop superkey problem [Solved]

It's not just you. I have this behavior 80% of the time I start Sabayon 4.0. The oddest part is that if I restart X (Ctrl-Alt-Backspace) everything works as it should.

Strictly speaking, any Alt+ combo seems to be grabbing a default Ctrl key as well, sticking us in other terminals. The Win key is grabbing such as well. My culprit is Alt+F2, since I use that everytime I launch an app.

Even odder, the proper command does get passed to X - when you switch back to the GUI, the dialog (be it the Run dialog, or the Kmenu) is present and waiting.

This discussion is I think pretty much identical to here:

Tanis Shadow's post (above) worked for me. Us.map, 32-bit, fresh install.

Belay that. It works... unless you want to use your TTYs 9: - you can switch out of your GUI, but not back once you're gone. There's an easy modification to Tanis Shadow's post, below.

My guess then with a lot of troubleshooting we just did on IRC is that somehow the keymap isn't overridden on that first load of KDE. Don't know why, though.

Anyhow, if you want to use this work don't delete *all* the entries in the defkeymap.map file labeled Console. Instead, leave the lines that look like:

Code: Select all

        control alt     keycode  64 = Console_6


This preserves the ability to switch TTY consoles while in them, using Ctrl Alt, while removing the Alt functionality that was conflicting, and the Winkey behavior as well. And the Alt+left and Alt+right behavior.

Here is the fix, as root:

Code: Select all

rc-update del keymaps default; rc-update add keymaps boot

Thanks for the pointer- it appears that the linked thread has two working solutions. FYI, the second one seems to be a lot faster (1st post on page 3).
