Hello, My window manager uses the number keys to switch between tags (it's "awesome"). I noticed that for a while, I was no longer able to move a client to tag "2" (Mod4-Shift-2), while moving to other tags worked fine. Also, I could still switch to tag "2" (Mod4-2), so it was something about the shift key, I gathered.
Well, not so. Using xev, I discovered the following:
Entering "1" and "2" into the xev gives consistent results. Holding
down shift yields "!" and "@" as it should for a US keyboard.
However, as soon as I touch Control_L or Control_R at the same time,
something weird happens. Here's the output for Control_L + 1:
KeyPress event, serial 1684, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
root 0x4b9, subw 0x0, time 4065591518, (117,69), root:(3486,798),
state 0x14, keycode 10 (keysym 0x31, 1), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (31) "1"
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (31) "1"
XFilterEvent returns: False
but look at what happens for Control_L + 2:
KeyPress event, serial 1684, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
root 0x4b9, subw 0x0, time 4065592038, (117,69), root:(3486,798),
state 0x14, keycode 11 (keysym 0x32, 2), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (00) ""
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (00) ""
XFilterEvent returns: False
Note how the keysym is correct, but then XLookupString and/or
XmbLookupString instead return the empty string.
This happens whether I load the US or the DE xkb map, using
setxkbmap.
Do you have any idea what might be going on?
