Some i3 keybindings don't work in crouton integration window #78

Open wjstarrsiii opened 9 years ago

wjstarrsiii commented 9 years ago

I installed the crouton integration on my C720, updated and added the xiwi target, and rebooted. I now get a nice fullscreen or windowed i3 desktop. However, some keybindings such as the all-important Search-Enter (to open a new terminal) don't work anymore. I imagine perhaps some combos may be getting intercepted by ChromeOS?

May there be a work-around? If not, how can I undo the xiwi install / config so my chroot does not look for the crouton integration extension if I need to roll back? Can I roll back?

UPDATE: Search-combos also non-functional with number keys, so I cannot navigate workspaces, move windows around, etc. Search-alpha's seem to work (Search-d for dmenu, Shift-Search-E to Exit, etc).

From within chroot, xev reports no difference between pressing Enter alone or pressing it in combination with the search key.:

KeyRelease event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001, root 0x197, subw 0x0, time 885599, (208,69), root:(895,89), state 0x0, keycode 36 (keysym 0xff0d, Return), same_screen YES, " XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (0d) " XFilterEvent returns: False

Search key alone is recognized as Super_L

Thanks

This feels similar to: https://github.com/dnschneid/crouton/issues/1514

I'd be willing to forgo the xiwi/crouton integration, but similarly can't really figure out how to rollback.

This appears to have become a serious matter now. After last ChromeOS update and update of crouton, I seem to be forced to use the integration. I have the same issues with key-combos not making it to my chroot. i3 is my main window manager now across multiple devices and I'd hate to have to go to something else on my C720. Thanks for any assistance.

So can't figure out how to get the search key working with this, but on a whim I changed the default key to left-alt and everything works fine.
