[wmx] num-lock fix for wmx

Thu Oct 21 09:57:39 1999
hey,
needed a change of pace, so i did a bit more hacking...
ever get anoyed that the keyboard commands don't work if the num-lock
key is pressed? i sure did...
there is more info after the code segments of this email [gnome patch
etc.]
behold the hack:
[note, this has only been tested on my home RH6.0 linux box w/ a
windows keyboard, I would love to hear if works for anyone else]
[second note, i am still diff-challanged... so you are going to have
to edit Client.C by hand or download the 6pre1+gnome tarball]
change
--------------------
XGrabKey(display(), keycode,
CONFIG_ALT_KEY_MASK, m_window, True,
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync);
--------------------
at line 184 (in Client::manage)
to
--------------------
XGrabKey(display(), keycode,
CONFIG_ALT_KEY_MASK|LockMask|Mod2Mask,
m_window, True,
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync);
XGrabKey(display(), keycode,
CONFIG_ALT_KEY_MASK|LockMask,
m_window, True,
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync);
XGrabKey(display(), keycode,
CONFIG_ALT_KEY_MASK|Mod2Mask,
m_window, True,
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync);
XGrabKey(display(), keycode,
CONFIG_ALT_KEY_MASK,
m_window, True,
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync);
---------------------
arg, what a hack.. but it works.
you will also want to change the next three
-----------------
XGrabKey(display(), keycode, 0, m_window, True,
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync);
-----------------
to
-----------------
XGrabKey(display(), keycode, AnyModifier, m_window, True,
GrabModeAsync, GrabModeAsync);
-----------------
basically change the 0 to AnyModifier
if you use the CONFIG_QUICK*_KEY stuff.
If the caps-lock works, but the num-lock doesn't then please send me
the following info:
run:
xev
make sure that the window that popped up has focus (you should see a
stream of stuff at the command line)
once it has focus make sure that none of the other modifiers are on
(scroll-lock, etc) and while making sure that no other keys are being
pressed and the mouse isn't moving etc..
click on the num-lock key
you should get something like this in the xterm where you launched xev
from:
-----------------
KeyRelease event, serial 22, synthetic NO, window 0x6c00001,
root 0x47, subw 0x6c00002, time 4189140064, (16,39), root:(100,871),
state 0x10, keycode 77 (keysym 0xff7f, Num_Lock), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 0 characters: ""
-----------------
the only thing that i care about is the
"state 0x10" part, if the value after state is different then please
email me your systems info and i'll see what i can do.

- side note: i put up a tarball for wmx-6pre1 + gnome at
http://www.nidal.com/~henri/wmx the tarball and patch both have the
above fix.
- another side note: if you are using GNOME, i would recomend
upgrading to the latest stable stuff and using the "Tasklist" applet
instead of the "Pager" applet. it seems to be faster. [i use both, the
Pager still works well for the channels and the Tasklist works well
for the running apps]
