Description zmooc 2004-12-24 23:26:53 UTC 
I use the two "windows keys" on the right side of the right Alt key to move a
desktop to the left or to the right respectively. This allows me to swap
workspaces pretty fast, but doing this fast doesn't work with metacity; if I
press the key to go a desktop to the left and then press the one to go to the
right BEFORE I release the first key (which I happen to do quite a lot), the
second keypress is not noticed by metacity and sent to the application window.

I believe this may be a duplicate of bug 112560 ("keybindings have to be fully
released before the grab ends")...Havoc would know for sure.
Comment 2 Havoc Pennington 2004-12-28 05:21:14 UTC 
I wouldn't claim to know anything for sure... it looks like a dup to me though.
Except I can't explain why the keypress goes to the application window since we
should have a grab...

Okay, then I'll go ahead and mark as a duplicate, and add an extra note that
this specific case should be tried as well when that bug is fixed.

I don't have two Windows keys to the right of my spacebar (I'm using a laptop), but I tried binding F11 and F12 instead, and I couldn't reproduce this problem.
