Still being stored as <Primary> in my Ubuntu/xfce4 14.04 system. Seriously, what motivated some software engineer to rename <ctrl> as <Primary>? What problem did this solve that couldn't be solved some other way?
This is what should be done now: Track down all software that writes "<Primary>" to any config file and change it to write <ctrl> (or <ctrl_L> or <ctrl_R> if you need). Also make sure that all the software understands <Primary> and converts it to <ctrl> when it reads a config file. Nonsense like this is why Linux is having so much trouble being adopted for the general desktop. Every single damn release breaks things. I can't stand upgrading because I know I need to fix fifty things when I do. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/936840 Title: <ctrl> key now known as <primary> which breaks keyboard shortcuts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/compiz/+bug/936840/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
