Description Havoc Pennington 2004-11-10 05:14:40 UTC 
See discussion at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=124466

Unfortunately I think we'd immediately get complaints about Alt+F1 vanishing.
So I'm a bit inclined to say we need multiple-keybindings-per-action support
first or something.

See also suggestion to use Windows key at
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=134182

(Though to be honest I don't know how to implement a binding to a modifier key
by itself)
Comment 2 Elijah Newren 2004-11-10 05:30:29 UTC 
Um, Frederico posted a patch to handle the Windows key thing in bug 150897... 
though I think we need to handle the stuff he suggests in comments 6 and 9 of
that bug.
Comment 3 Marius Andreiana 2005-05-12 13:46:16 UTC 
Note that multiple-keybindings-per-action enhancement request is in bug 91538
Comment 4 Elijah Newren 2005-11-16 06:49:21 UTC 
The patch in bug 164831 (which Calum and I have both tested and found to work)
allows Alt+F1 and Ctrl+Esc to both launch the menu.  I'm marking as a duplicate
of that bug.
