With the next LTS release coming up and being the last bundle unity7 I think it's time to resurrect this bug and find a proper solution to either make the shortctus costumizable or at least to disable the hardcoded ones, the latter of which shouldn't be too hard.

All the hardcoded Unity shortcuts (like Alt+Space, Ctrl+Tab or Super+Tab for example) are not shared with Compiz and the CCSM, so it is possible to double-bind the same keycombinations already used by Unity to other functions without CCSM even showing a warning about it... 2. There are conflicts with hardcoded Unity keycombinations, which are still adjustable via CCSM. Example: You are unable to change the shortcut for the Window Menu (Alt+Space), although the option is there (CCSM->General->Key Bindings->Window Menu) Changing the shortcut to anything else makes it snap back to Alt+Space. It is not possible to change the Mouse-shortcut, nor to use Alt+Button3 (Alt+rightMouseButton) for anything else than showing the window menu. Disabling the shortcut is also not possible. 3. If one can not assign hardcoded keybindings/key-mousebindings to anything else and is not able to disable them either, and one wants to use any program that utilizes the same keycombinations/key-mousecombinations (e.g. a game), it would not be possible to play it, because it would always bring up the hardcoded functions, no matter what... Examples: Alt+Space will always bring up the window menu (window accessibility), Alt+Button3 (RMB) also To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/1022743/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
