Re: [xmonad] shiftmask stopped working

13 Mar 2009

      Thanks guys. xev has this to say:

Left:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
    root 0x93, subw 0x1c00002, time 4449250, (29,43), root:(670,61),
    state 0x10, keycode 50 (keysym 0xffe1, Shift_L), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Right:

KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001,
    root 0x93, subw 0x1c00002, time 4385976, (46,42), root:(687,60),
    state 0x10, keycode 62 (keysym 0xffe2, Shift_R), same_screen YES,
    XLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes:
    XFilterEvent returns: False

Any idea why xmonad isn't reacting to bindings which include shiftMask?

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