Due to certain details WRT key grabbing under X11, it's not possible to say 'no other key was pressed'. This is what makes it different from MS Windows, where it probably is possible to implement that feature correctly (actually I right now got an idea how it might be possible to workaround, I'll add it in my TODO, but I'm not that sure - I mean fixing the alt menu selecting, I don't feel like bothering with making the modifier work both as a normal key and as a modifier). > > And mod4 (meta) shouldn't trigger menu highlighting either, darn it ;P Tell TrollTech. -- Lubos Lunak KDE developer --------------------------------------------------------------------- SuSE CR, s.r.o. e-mail: l.lunak@suse.cz , l.lunak@kde.org Drahobejlova 27 tel: +420 2 9654 2373 190 00 Praha 9 fax: +420 2 9654 2374 Czech Republic http://www.suse.cz/ _______________________________________________ Kwin mailing list Kwin@mail.kde.org http://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kwin
