Seems to grab Super-x keypress even though a different Hotkey is configured

[neekfenwick]

I installed Switcher yesterday (Gnome 40 on Fedora 34) and it immediately overrode my usual custom keyboard shortcut Super-x (which launches an xterm). I tried binding Switcher to another Hotkey like Super-F2 and switcher works fine but still responded to Super-x.

Going into Keyboard Shortcuts and binding the Super-x shortcut to another binding, then back again, made Switcher stop using it.

Today, Switcher is again responding to Super-x despite still being bound to Super-F2 as yesterday.

Any idea what's up, or how to debug this?

Sounds like a bug. Switcher used to have two keybindings and that was one of them by default. I'll try to get that fixed over the weekend.

Thanks for reporting!

Same issue. By the way, it seems that not only it keeps responding to the Super-x shortcut, but it can be made to respond to a different shortcut by editing the setting with dconf editor. However, if the setting is removed, it starts to respond to Super-x again.

Same issue persists. Btw, Thank you for the great extension!

I think this happens due to the default value for the key show-launcher in the file schemas/org.gnome.shell.extensions.switcher.gschema.xml and its use in extension.js in function enable().
