Description Alexandre Aractingi 2005-01-19 16:20:34 CET
When I use the shortcut editor, I want to call a script called "screenshot.sh"
by hitting the "Print screen" key. It gets recognized by the "compose shortcut"
app and appears in the list as the "Print" shortcut.
However screenshot.sh doesn't get executed, while it gets executed ok with any
other shortcut (F11 for example).

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the shortcut manager
2. Define a command (screenshot.sh) which points to a working script / command
3. Define a shortcut by hitting the "print screen" key

Actual Results:  
Nothing

Expected Results:  
Invoke the screenshot.sh script, which launches an Xdialog box.

I had this too. I think it's related to all the other keybinding bugs.
Apparently Gtk and X have different ways of determining key values which leads
to all kinds of confusion.

Should I fill a GTK "bug" then?
The problem doesn't really bother me as I use the F11 shortcut instead (same
button as 'print' on my laptop, but without hitting the 'Fn' key first).

Interestingly, the Print key has started working again for me. This means either
Xfce CVS, oops I mean SVN ;-) has a fix or newer Gtk+ fixed it.
Comment 4 Jean-François Wauthy editbugs 2006-06-07 19:28:27 CEST
my bet is on a GTK bug fixed in recent releases as Jasper reported therefore i mark this bug as fixed
