emacs grabs key commands #48

Just installed quicktile; when trying to resize an emacs window it instead prints out a message saying that the key combination is undefined.

I'm not sure how that would be possible. QuickTile uses the X11 XGrabKey function to take exclusive control of the key combos it listens for. If QuickTile started properly, then emacs should never receive X events for those key combos.

The only thing that should be able to override a successful XGrabKey is the XGrabKeyboard function intended for implementing secure password dialogs and, if that were in use, it would prevent all global hotkeys from functioning.

What do you get when launching quicktile in a terminal with --debug? Are there any messages about failing to bind keys?

I'll take a look when I get the chance. Thanks for the quick response!

I'm not sure what I changed, but it seems to be working now. Thanks for writing the tool!
