Make <super>-P configurable (1.99 KB, patch)
2013-11-01 17:00 UTC, Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 		none Details | Review

Description Wu Jun 2012-02-05 16:46:07 UTC 
Since it is a very annoying bug for me and Bug 651571 is unlikely to be reopened by a comment, I created this bug.

It is mainly the same as Bug 651571. I use super+p as dmenu_run hotkey for years. Hopefully there is a way to disable default super+p behavior in the near future.

Please reopen Bug 651571 and mark this as duplicated or discuss in this thread.

If there was a way to discover which hardware's BIOS uses Win+P to switch display output, we would use that. Until then, we aim to support the majority of new Windows hardware, so the default won't be changed. If there was a way to detect the hardware, we'd use that instead.

Let me know if you figure out a solution for the above. Until then, you'll have to resort to hacking the source.

I guess this is a WONTFIX then.

Make <super>-P configurable

We carry the attached patch in Debian. It make the keybinding still default to <super>-P, but makes it configurable through gsettings for those who want to do so. We allow users to change most (all?) keybindings through the g-c-c interface and gsettings, so I think this would be a good change.

(reopening because of the new patch, feel free to close as wontfix again if you disagree with the proposed fix)
Comment 5 Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2013-11-01 17:07:57 UTC 
Just realized the patch we carry was taken from bug 623223
Comment 6 Emilio Pozuelo Monfort 2013-11-01 17:13:36 UTC 
Since this patch was already proposed in the other bugs (bug 623223, bug 651571) and there's nothing new here I'm reclosing this as wontfix. I still think this should be configurable (though default to super-p) and we'll keep on carrying the patch in Debian (this is our only g-s-d patch and I wanted to bring that down to zero, but I guess one patch isn't that bad either!).
