Feature Request: Do not send escape event if the mouse is clicked while holding the key. #66

Closed minego closed 7 years ago

minego commented 8 years ago

If I press control, click with the mouse, and then release it the mouse event will work as a control+click AND an escape keypress will be sent. I would like a mouse click to be treated like another keypress, and prevent sending escape.

This is not a huge problem, but in some applications that use control+click it can cause confusion. I noticed this while playing a game. A control+click (which is used heavily in the game) caused the menu to pop up because of the escape key event.

Yeah, this would be really nice. This is the biggest issue with mapping the left/right shift key to delete/backspace respectively -- you can't do shift-click to select without it also generating a 'delete' key immediately after (or backspace depending on which shift key you used).

This was fixed by commit f69c5a3. It has not been included in a release yet, so if you want this fix, you will probably (unless your distro has an xcape-git package) need to compile xcape yourself as detailed in the README.

Awesome! I can't wait to try it out. Thank you.
