# Running with Fedora Core 3 (test2) # xorg-x11-6.8.0-4 # I noticed after a recent install that my common keypress for changing viewports in $windowmanger were behaving strangely. My configured keypress is <alt><shift>-$arrowkey. After further investigation, it appears that this keypress works fine when using Alt_L ... however, Alt_R is causing problems. According to `xmodmap` output (see below) it appears that Alt_R is no longer a modifier. (~)> xmodmap xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses): shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e) lock Caps_Lock (0x42) control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d) mod1 Alt_L (0x40), Alt_L (0x7d), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80) mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) I do not have a custom $HOME/.[Xx]modmap configured. I'm not sure if this is an expected change or an omission. Thoughts/comments/concerns?
I've discovered this too. It makes (left) Alt+Tab not work correctly in kde. I mistakenly thought that it was a kde bug and filed a bug report with them <http://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=92558>. It would be nice if right Alt working exactly the same as left Alt. I'm using slackware with xorg 6.8.1.
sounds like a dup of bug 926
