Hello xkb fans,
I've recently upgraded to xorg 7.0 and Windowmaker 0.92. For switching
windows I'm using Win+TAB instead of Alt+TAB. It starts to behave
strange after upgrade. When switching to other window, the bar with
windows list remains on screen and I have to press Win key again to
disappear it.
I found out that Win key (Mod4) is not seen as modifier because it is
mapped to wrong keycode:
$ xmodmap | grep mod4
mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80)
while the xev prints:
...
state 0x50, keycode 115 (keysym 0xffeb, Super_L), same_screen YES,
...
state 0x50, keycode 116 (keysym 0xffec, Super_R), same_screen YES,
...
which is 0x73, 0x74 hexa.
I dig in /usr/share/X11/xkb files and found out that Mod4 is mapped to
<SUPR> and <HYPR>:
from symbols/pc:
xkb_symbols "basic" {
...
key <SUPR> { [ NoSymbol, Super_L ] };
modifier_map Mod4 { <SUPR> };
key <HYPR> { [ NoSymbol, Hyper_L ] };
modifier_map Mod4 { <HYPR> };
from keycodes/xfree86:
<SUPR> = 127; // <U7F>
<HYPR> = 128; // <U80>
which is 0x7f and 0x80 hexa. So it is exactly the same wrong keycode
that is printed by xmodmap.
Is it a bug?
My keyboard config in xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "KME"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbModel" "scorpius"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,sk"
Option "XkbVariant" ",qwerty"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll"
