autokey on Host Ubuntu makes strange behavier on Guest Virtualbox WinXP #148

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.config autokey to make PageUp to be Home.
2.Open Guest OS windows xp.
3.Press Shift+PageUp to select line on WinXP.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected: Select line.
But the PageUp sometimes still means pageup in WinXP.（some application, such 
as notepad, means home）
Even worse, after that(press shift+'home'), it makes content selected 
unexpected when you move the cursor.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Host OS: Ubuntu 11.04 + AutoKey (GTK UI) 0.71.3 + VirtualBox 4.1.2 r73507
Guest OS: Windows XP

If i only use Home(real key is PageUp) on windows xp, it's OK.
If i use Shift+Home, the problem reproduced.

I have configed AutoKey to make Shift+PageUp to be Shift+Home.

Because Shift+Home is treated as a separate hotkey to just Home by itself. 
Otherwise you would have problems with hotkeys firing concurrently (e.g. if you 
had configured one for Shift+Home and one for just Home and you press 
Shift+Home).
