GridSelect's defaultNavigation will not respond to KP_Divide or AltGr-q #587

Open GoogleCodeExporter opened 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Use defaultNavigation for something, e.g. ", ((...), goToSelected 
defaultGSConfig)"
2. Open some windows
3. Call goToSelected and hit KP_Divide (Fn-0, on my laptop keyboard) or AltGr-q

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expected some 'search mode' to start, but nothing happens.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
xmonad-0.11 on Arch Linux

Are you using an xmonad.hs?  Please attach it and the output of "xmonad
--recompile".

Please provide any additional information below.

What caused you to expect a search mode to start? Is there something in the 
documentation that would cause that expectation?

If this is a request to modify the default gridselect configuration, I expect 
it's going to be a hard sell. Instead just create a custom configuration in the 
way the documentation says to that understands KP_Divide.

Pretty much everyone in #xmonad was surprised that it did not treat both "/" 
the same way; this is something of a convention. (Admittedly that means 
xmonad's core should also add a binding for mod-KP_Divide.)

UK international laptop keyboards will not have a dedicated / key, so I have to 
resort to the methods described in the title. The documentation tersely says 
"Slash enters the substring search mode", so I expected it to work with... 
well, what seemed like a slash.

Oops, wrong generalization. I mean the ABNT2 keymap, specifically.

This is probably a case of things seeming more obvious once you know them. I'm 
happy to concede.
