Created attachment 70937 [details] Patch. Please find attached a patch to add two new options, altwin:switch_alt_win and altwin:switch_ralt_rwin. Previously, there was only an altwin:switch_lalt_lwin option, which ony did the job for the Alt and Windows keys at the left of the spacebar, but not for those on the right.
+1 I was also ready to submit a similar patch. I already make this local modification on each of my machines so that my right "ALT" can act as a "SUPER" to deal with keyboard mapping conflicts between XFCE and other programs.
Would it make sense just to have single swap_alt_win? I would prefer not to increase the number of options unnecessarily...
Sure. Makes sense to me.
committed. only unified option. pls check
There is a similar patch in bug #55311.
(In reply to comment #2) > Would it make sense just to have single swap_alt_win? I would prefer not to > increase the number of options unnecessarily... Isn't that going to break existing configs using the old option?
Well, you are right. That option will get ignored. Sometimes I allow those little breakages. Sometimes they are even unavoidable - if you remember terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp introduction. So in this particular case I do not think the damage is serious. People will find out.
