Keyboard shortcuts in GUI don't allow for direct input from keyboard #89

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago

When using the touchegg GUI, there is no way to directly input the keyboard 
shortcut.  I wouldn't think you should have to type "Alt" and "Left" but rather 
simply hold alt and press the left arrow key to assign the keyboard shortcut.  
It's not clear what name should be typed for certain keys, for example "left" 
or "Left" or "LEFT" or "Left-Arrow", etc.  Much better to simply allow the user 
to input the keyboard shortcut without typing the name of the key.

Additionally, it seems that the GUI does not correctly apply the keyboard 
shortcut inputs to the configuration.

The button that is input into the "keys to press" field will work when the 
gesture is performed.  The button that is input into the "keys to hold" does 
not work when gesture is performed.  I input Alt into the hold field, and Left 
into the press field.  when the gesture is performed, only the left key is 
pressed without Alt being held.

Is Alt_L, you can see all the keys in the /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h file ;)

what do I enter from the keysymdef.h file to use? for example, for Home,
#define XK_Home                           0xff50
so just Home? or will 0xff50 work, or?
