-----------------------------8<----------------------------- libxfce4ui (4.8.0-4) unstable; urgency=low Starting Gtk+ 2.24.7, the Control key often found on PC keyboards isn't called 'Control' but 'Primary', breaking configured keyboard shortcuts already set. If you experience this in Xfce (application not starting and keyboard shortcut using Control key), just re-bind the various shortcuts using the same keys combination. The shortcut will be replaced by the 'Primary' version and will work correctly. -- Yves-Alexis Perez <cor...@debian.org> Mon, 28 Nov 2011 16:10:00 +0100 -----------------------------8<----------------------------- All I needed to do to restore my keyboard shortcuts that used the <Ctrl> key was to delete those shortcuts, and then re-create them. When you do this you'll see that the left <Ctrl> key will be called <Primary>. Regards, Gilbert -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
