MX-21 Fluxbox RC1 feedback

[dolphin_oracle]

The ability to use Shift as a modifier does not work desire what I thought I understood from this discussion: viewtopic.php?f=143&t=66504
We need it to open mx-manual, since that key combo was written into the MXFB documentation on p. 1

sorry I'll adjust the live system.

for now, users can use "System Keyboard" app to change the keyboard toggle to something else or disable altogether.

that said, the current toggle should be "rcontrol+rshift" which I wouldnt' think would stop using shift as a modifier. however, I can't change that value via update, so if you updated from a beta you won't see the change. however, another user also reported a problem with selecting text that I'm sure is related to the keyboard toggle key combo.

Works here on both a 32- and 64-bit install.

I'd love to be wrong

Yes, that's right. I have to choose custom install, because I have a special partition for testing systems. MX19 with all my files, documents and pictures is still there on another partition. That's why I think It will be better to see something less scary while doing so important choice.

LOL You should see mine, 5 drives, all of them having at least 3 partitions.

Use the drop arrow on the left to collapse what you aren't going to use, that'll clear things up a bit and make it less scary.

(trust me, I lost my bleep when I saw the new installer for the first time and ran off having a panic attack At least I can laugh about it now, and collapsing things is good!)

I brought it up (comment #12) that the screen looked better in b2. That one had a more polished look to it.

Works for me when I installed rc1 yesterday. Here's the section from the keys file.

Code: Select all

###########

# take a screen capture
none Print :Exec mxfb-quickshot

# open help
Ctrl F1 :Exec mxfb-help
Shift F1 :Exec mx-manual

# open a little run terminal
Ctrl F2 :Exec fbrun

# use logo key for rofi
Super_L :Exec rofi -show drun

# open a file manager
Ctrl F3 :Exec thunar /home/$USER/.fluxbox

Speaking of key bindings. Selecting Print doesn't launch quickshot but selecting Menu Print does.

Code: Select all

############
#Mod1=Alt key
#Mod4=Left logo key
#Menu=Right logo key
#Mouse1=Left click
#Mouse3=Right click 
#Mouse4=Scroll wheel up
#Mouse5=Scroll wheel down
###########

#NOTE: unmodified Fn keys left unassigned to avoid conflict with apps

###########

# take a screen capture
none Print :Exec mxfb-quickshot

So on the flight to MSP I tested again and it worked. So scratch that report @dolphin_oracle . Yeah!

Pressing Print changes the cursor from a pointer to a select function--on my system a small cross. No program launch is visible which is what makes it so fast.
