#ASSIGN HOTKEY QUOD LIBET PLUS#
And mistype.ģ/ The issue with Rythmbox looks solved for long, and who wants to break professional use of a keyboard for a solved bug in a music player ?Ĥ/ Nobody (normal user) I talked to has ever heard about a "level 5" story, nor do people give a damn.ĥ/ Everybody wanting to type non-breakable space in word processors (LibreOffice.) do it with - and don't need a specifically modified right Ctrl for that.Ħ/ Breaking right breaks other apps that specifically request it NOT to be broke, such as - again professional stuff.īreaking the right keys on the french keyboard is plain stupid, period.Ģ/ There are quite a *lot* of common, daily used by professional IT staff, keyboard shortcuts or combinations such as -, -, -, -, plus all such combinations adding, then -L, -M.ĥ/ Everybody wanting to type non-breakable space in word processors (LibreOffice.) do it with - and don't need a specifically modified right Ctrl for that.Īll answers ask to perform the change. > All these day-long used combinations can be conveniently played with 2 (or 3) fingers when the right key actually is a right key, and changing this key breaks them all, needing people to start using both hands for typing what they have typed with 2 fingers for 30 YEARS ! And mistype. The right key actually is a right key and no other modifier or whatever.Ģ/ There are quite a *lot* of common, daily used by professional IT staff, keyboard shortcuts or combinations such as -, -, -, -, plus all such combinations adding, then -L, -M. It does have 2 normal keys bearing the exact same label. PATH=/ usr/local/ sbin:/usr/ local/bin: /usr/sbin: /usr/bin: /sbin:/ bin:/usr/ gamesġ/ Standard French keyboard has NO key. I've just installed the last Hardy release candidate. Instead, it played the currently selected song (space is the shortcut for playing/pausing the song). I tried to search for "The Do" in the search bar, but the space bar didn't write a space. But during the interim we'd switched to banshee so perhaps users didn't notice it.

So I think it is a safe change.Īctually, I'm surprised there have not been more complaints about it lately.
#ASSIGN HOTKEY QUOD LIBET PATCH#
The patch is one we carried in lucid and maverick (when rhythmbox was the default music player IIRC), and has been upstream for a while. Type in a search term that includes a space characterīroken Behavior: Space triggers the play/pause function in rhythmboxįixed Behavior: A space character is inserted

(Note due to unrelated bug, you need to do this in your /etc/defaults/ keyboard config file.)Ĥ. Since currently quantal is shipping the same xkeyboard-config version as precise, we can carry the same patch there as well.ġ. So for quantal a cherrypick of that commit was backported. However, the patch was also sent upstream and accepted there. Patch 128_fix_ oss_ctrl_ space_accelerat or.patch fixed this problem in lucid and maverick, but was dropped in natty when we updated to upstream xkeyboard-config 2.1.
#ASSIGN HOTKEY QUOD LIBET UPDATE#
This had been fixed in lucid and maverick, but the patch appears to have been misplaced during the (rather major) update from 1.8 to 2.1, thus the reports of it regressing in comments #135 and #141, as well as dupe bug #938671. In the fr(oss) keymap, both space and Ctrl + space return the same XLookupString, which prevents space from being used in some applications.
