View Full Version : CCSM reverts edits to INI; Super_L not settable as hotkey

Ever since I first installed Compiz, I've used the Windows key (SUPER_L on this keyboard) as my scale hotkey. I used it in Beryl, I used it in Compiz. When I moved to Compiz Fusion last night, it refused to let me change it to this key in CCSM. I tried to go ahead and just modify the INI file directly, manually typing in "SUPER_L". Everything worked perfectly until I opened CCSM, where it seems to have reset the default. I'm having the same trouble with the ring switcher and application switcher. As soon as the ring switcher was added, I started using it instead of the normal one. I'd like to be able to use the normal key combinations for these. I assume this behavior is unintentional, so I thought that I would report it.

The Application Switcher (Alt+Tab) and Ring Switcher (Super+Tab) use different shortcuts by default. Have you tried going through each line in ccsm->Window Management->Application Switcher->Actions and ccsm->Window Management->Ring Switcher->Actions, then double-clicking and clicking on the Clear icon for each line (to reset them to defaults) to see if that helps resolve the conflict?
Also, I've tried setting key bindings using only keys like Ctrl, Shift, Super, Alt, or combinations of those... ccsm doesn't allow you to set them for some reason. If you're using a modifier key, you must also combine it with a non-modifier key. The Water plugin is a good example of a situation where this logic doesn't work. The default key binding for Water->Initiate is <Control><Super>, but ccsm won't allow it, so the default shortcut doesn't work.
Edit: Since libcompizconfig and the ccp plugin contribute to the logic used in ccsm, you can't set any pure-modifier shortcuts as long as you use ccp. (Confirmed with manual edit of ~/.compizconfig/Default.ini)

Angafirith, I am removing the BUG designation you have put on this title. Please refrain from doing
so without confirming first with a moderator. Please keep in mind that this is also alpha software
and not all features are added yet, which doesn't make it a BUG. When a team member agrees that
other people are having the same problem or that this is in fact a BUG in the software, then they
will advise you to file a BUG report at http://bugs.opencompositing.org/index.cgi
Thanks
