Okay, there was a misunderstanding on my side on what this patch fixes and it seems it does not help me with my problem.

Thank you very much anyways.

@OLStefan this patch is only relevant for group actions, i.e. key combinations like Ctrl+Shift etc. It won't work for single keys (like super key).

You are saying that Alt+Shift+Tab still "works" in mainstream Xorg after setting keyboard switching shortcut to Alt+Shift. It shouldn't work: either you don't really understand what this patch fixes, or you messed something up in your system.

I tried using 'setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle' with both this package and the mainstream version, with both the Alt+Shift+Tab Shortcut did work.

I also restarted after installing each of the xorg-server packages I tried.

OLStefan, seems patch works only with Xorg keybindings, and Xfce keybindings work on another layer. Try to set keyboard switching to Alt + Shift (e.g. with setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle). Alt + Shift + Tab shortcut should be broken now with mainstream Xorg and working with this package.

I have set a hotkey (for example open the Whisker-menu on press of the super key) via the Xfce keyboard settings.

I also wanted to set hotkeys for window tiling, like in Windows, so set super and left to tile the window to the left. But the problem is as soon as i hit the super key the whisker menu opens and prevents me from using the tiling hotkey.

I'd expect that with using this patch the Whisker hotkey would only kick if I release the super key without pressing other keys, so i can use other shortcuts using the super key as a modifier.

"I'm using Xfce4 and all hotkeys are still kicked on press." - can you describe what exactly you do and what do you expect?

OLStefan commented on 2019-08-11 15:12

Is there something to really do wrong when installing this?

All I did was download and build the package normally (without AUR helper), and then uninstall the normal xorg-server during installation of the bugfix due to the conflict. After that I restarted to make sure the bugfix xorg-server is loaded. Everything else is working as intended.

Any idea what I could do to get the bugfix working correctly?

kyak commented on 2019-08-11 14:32

@OLStefan it should just work. You are doing something wrong.

OLStefan commented on 2019-08-11 13:17

I may be doing something wrong, but this bug fix is not working for me.

I'm using Xfce4 and all hotkeys are still kicked on press.

Do I have to activate some option to switch to kick-on-release or might something else be the issue here?

Indeed. Sorry for bothering you. Strange implicit rule nevertheless.
