Public bug reported: All the bugs that are related to older versions of compiz are being closed. Since the bug still exists and it was closed due to it being old, then I need to re-create it.
If it isn't going to be fixed for some philosophical reason, I'd like to see it posted here and that's fine. The bug is that no binding in compiz that includes the Escape key will work. Evidently that is by design at some level, but Alt-Ctrl-Esc is a handy binding to have. Simply put, if you try to bind any function to the Escape key by itself or with Shift/Alt/Super/Ctrl, the 'Grab' button will allow you to assign it, but the assignment will not work and there is no error reported. Not in the interface, nor in a logfile (that I can see yet). cf. older reports and comments: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/176195 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/158855 http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=47&t=24397 http://ubuntu.5.x6.nabble.com/No-Ctrl-Alt-Esc-with-Compiz-td892450.html Ubuntu 15.04 Vivid Compiz Version: 1:0.9.12.1+15.04.20150410.1-0ubuntu1 ** Affects: compiz (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of compiz packagers, which is subscribed to compiz in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1497490 Title: escape key bindings with or without modifiers do not work To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/compiz/+bug/1497490/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~compiz Post to : compiz@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~compiz More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
