I have to press Ctrl+Alt+7 to come back to the desktop environment.

@evandrocoan Are you sure you didn't mean Ctrl+Alt+F7 instead of the +7? Otherwise this might be due to the way your GNU/Linux distribution has configured TTY: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Getty#Add_additional_virtual_consoles

Also, have you done any other tweaks to your key bindings? It sounds like ksuperkey sends Ctrl+Alt+F1 instead of Alt+F1 in your case.

Some more information about your setup (desktop environment, Linux distribution, etc.) would be helpful.

Yes, I mean F7, not 7.

I use Linux Mint 19.1 with XFCE 4.12

I had configured it with this:

ksuperkey -e 'Super_L=Super_L|m'

How can I debug it?

hanschen commented 5 years ago

What happens if you press Super_L+m?

You can also try to run ksuperkey with the -d flag for debug mode.

It opens the start menu. I had configured it for that.

On now, I had set ksuperkey -e 'Super_L=Super_L|m', before had actually set Control_L|i.

Now, I had set Super_L|m, it works fine, and it does not open tty anymore.

But before setting Control_L|i, I had set Control_L|Alt_L|0, which was triggering tty some times (randomly). Now, with Super_L|m, it did not triggered tty so far.

I will try use -d debug mode next time, if I get new problems.

Great! I'm closing this issue then, feel free to reopen if you encounter similar problems again.
