I am using session manager like KDE/Gnome/XFCE and others but openbox as a window manager. The mapping of keystrokes to certain funtionalities is a common feature or most applications nowadays. And with this keymappings there come the conflicting of keymappings into existence... With openbox I have mapped Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-right to next-desktop and previous-desktop. When starting blender, which is a great keymapper also, I know have "lost" the keymapping which is mapped to Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-right, since openbox catches this one and blender does not get a glimpse of it. The remapping of "lost keymaps" not always helps, since often used functions are mapped to key combos, which can be reached easily. Those are used often and therefore overlap often. Remapping to avoid conflicts then led to situations where a simple "del-char" of an editor is mapped to something awful like (exaggerated...;) Since there is one rule in the internet: "You are not the first person haveing a certain problem..." I dare to ask :) ..... Is there any way to ease this situation? Thank you very much in advance for any help! Have nice sunday! Best regards, mcc
