Make it possible to capture control-alt-arrow keys

Open sunweaver opened this issue 9 years ago • 4 comments

From X2Go BTS: http://bugs.x2go.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=838

Package: x2goagent

I am using Ubuntu 14.10 with Mate Desktop with multiple work spaces. If I use Remmina with NX plugin, the control-alt-right/left arrow keys work to switch work spaces even when I'm up on a remote desktop.

With X2Go, it usually doesn't work, except if I use control-alt-M to minimize the session then restore it, the keys will usually work thereafter.

Remmina has a way to toggle this behavior, a little pull down at the top with a keyboard symbol. If it's down, the control-alt-arrows go to the end application allowing me to switch work spaces on the remote desktop, and if it's up they go to the local desktop.

It would be nice if x2go had a similar facility but if not it would be better for that key sequence to always act locally since I can switch work spaces remotely by using the mouse but can not locally because the switcher is hidden by the remote desktop x2go is displaying.

This sounds like autograb, which is covered in #384/#494

@uli42: I hadded a "Fixes" statement to one of the commits under #494. Any reason why #494 has not been merged, yet?

I am not sure what you are referring to. The last state is that I explained the existing problems in detail and asked you to should check these issues on your side.

autograb is integrated - so can we close this one?
