They Seem To Be Filtered Out By XWin Date: Thu, 06 Mar 2014 22:26:00 -0000 Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable MIME-Version: 1.0 X-SW-Source: 2014-03/txt/msg00004.txt.bz2 Hello, I downloaded a new copy of Cygwin in the last 5 days (effectively started f= rom scratch) and am trying to use XWin on a Windows 7 virtual machine runni= ng an old proprietary X program (it's called x6530 which is a terminal emul= ator for a proprietary terminal built originally by Tandem Computers and no= w owned by Hewlett Packard.)=20 I start up the server and window manager using the following command: /usr/bin/setsid \ /usr/bin/XWin \ -mwextwm \ -multimonitors \ -internalwm \ -nowinkill \ & I'm trying to use multi-key sequences like Control_L-Alt_L-F6, Shift_L-Cont= rol_L-F6, etc.=A0 I do see that xev recognizes these sequences but the Cont= rol_L and Alt_L keys seem to be filtered out when I run x6530. All it see= ms to get is F6 or Shift_L-F6. I've tried different window managers, run /usr/bin/XWin directly, used the = right-hand modification keys like Control_R, etc. and no matter what I try= , I see the same filtering behavior in x6530. I have recently used excee= d (formally owned by Hummingbird) with x6530 and the Control_L and Alt_L ke= ys are passed to x6530 as expected so my suspicion is that XWin is responsi= ble for the unwanted behavior of filtering out the keys like Control_L and = Alt_L keys. Is this the case?=A0 Is there a way to get these sequences "unfiltered". If there is additional information I can provide, please let me know.
