Re: [xmonad] shiftmask stopped working

Thanks guys. xev has this to say: [...] Any idea why xmonad isn't reacting to bindings which include shiftMask?

This is very strange but it seems to be sporadic. For the first time since I upgraded ubuntu M-S-enter is being picked up and opening a terminal. I suppose it's possible my keyboard is flaky but it seems unlikely.

Thanks,

Jim

Try xev (in a terminal).

Does anyone know of an x application that I could use to work out what is actually being entered when I press a shift key (right and left have the same problem)? This might help me solve the problem.

Thanks,

Hi, I upgraded my OS from ubuntu hardy to intrepid and shiftMask stopped working in xmonad 0.8. Keybindings like M-p work but M-S-p does nothing or tries to enter 'P' into the window with focus. I'm still using the same keyboard & kbd layout. This is part of my xmonad.hs:

myKeys (XConfig {modMask = modm}) =                M.fromList [ ((modm .|. shiftMask,   xK_p),      spawn "bash -ci emacs")                           , ((modm,                 xK_F2),     spawn "gmrun")                           , ((modm .|. shiftMask,   xK_Tab),    windows W.focusUp)                           , ((modm .|. controlMask, xK_Delete), spawn cmd_shutdown)                           , ((modm,                 xK_p),      spawn cmd_dmenu)                           , ((modm .|. shiftMask,   xK_z),      spawn "gnome-screensaver-command -l")                           ]

Thanks,
