On certain system configurations slop fails to grab the keyboard. I wasn't capable of debugging it well due to it working fine on my system, however you should be capable of running slop by using the --nokeyboard option I believe.

In the future I plan to catch the keyboard grab failure and have it fall back to other key press detections.

Ah, you are right, '--nokeyboard' runs well. If it matters, i tried running it on both bspwm and spectrwm (both being tiling window managers) and didn't work.

Thanks.

I'm re-opening because it's still a bad bug, the --nokeyboard option is a work-around.

Should be fixed with c0f4ef1
