Re: [Bug: 21.4.12] Shift + function keys do not work

Sean> Here is a patch from a different thread about the same Sean> problem. This isn't acceptable because it hard-codes a particular implementation's values. I think it's reasonable to assume that the constants are universals (ie, are registered with X.org), but the particular usage to implement VT switching can change. Furthermore, as later discussion from the "XKB expert" at XFree86 made plain, the XLookupString method is inappropriate, as XLookupString maintains internal state. Therefore it should only be called once per event. This suggests the possibility that XFree86 may change their implementation. Then where are you? It's not obvious to me, and it sure as heck won't be obvious to the poor maintainer who follows me. -- Institute of Policy and Planning Sciences http://turnbull.sk.tsukuba.ac.jp University of Tsukuba Tennodai 1-1-1 Tsukuba 305-8573 JAPAN Ask not how you can "do" free software business; ask what your business can "do for" free software.
