Keybase client hijacks ctrl-alt-b #3235

Open jcassee opened 8 years ago

jcassee commented 8 years ago

Since a few days the ctrl-alt-b hotkey does not work anymore on my Ubuntu 16.04. (It's a rather handy keyboard shortcut in IntelliJ.) I finally traced it to the Keybase client (the prerelease version). However, I do not see where in the code it binds the hotkey...

Ah, that's probably caused by this binding:

 globalShortcut.register('CommandOrControl+Alt+k+b', () => {

which attempts to bind ctrl-alt-k-b as a debug tool, but apparently is also breaking ctrl-alt-b for you. Sorry!

Okay, do you think this will be removed somewhere in the development process? I'll just not use Keybase until then, that is no problem.

For the purposes of people searching, this also impacts OS X under the keystroke ⌘-⌥-b / command-option-b, and causes the Chromium DOM inspector to appear in the client in version 1.0.16-20160707110020+ee537fc.

Hi, I just noticed the same bug, only in my case it's more of a problem. On my keyboard layout (Slovenian), the AltGr+B comination (AltGr == Ctrl+Alt) is used to type the left bracket ({) and since Keybase completely hijacks it, this makes it impossible do do any programming while Keybase is running.

Is there any chance you could make a config option or just an env. variable to disable this until it's removed?

It also steps on backward-sexp in emacs.
