Bug #: 29858 Summary: WinUAE is not able to capture certain key press events Product: Wine Version: 1.4-rc1 Platform: x86-64 URL: http://www.winuae.net/files/InstallWinUAE2330.exe OS/Version: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: -unknown AssignedTo: wine-bugs@winehq.org ReportedBy: markk@clara.co.uk Classification: Unclassified
I'm testing Wine 1.4rc1 under Lubuntu 11.10 64-bit, which uses the LXDE desktop/Openbox window manager.
The WinUAE Amiga emulator does not capture/see certain key presses when the emulation is running. A couple I noticed are the left Windows key and the Ctrl-Alt-D key combination.
When I press the left Windows key, the LXDE panel menu appears at the lower right of the screen. Pressing Ctrl-Alt-D opens the file manager (PCManFM).
It is definitely possible for programs to capture those key presses. For example, running a VirtualBox Windows guest, the guest Start menu not the LXDE panel menu appears when I press the left Windows key.
To (hopefully) show the problem: - Download and run the WinUAE installer. Check the box to run the program at the end. - When the Properties window opens click Start. The emulation window opens and the mouse and keyboard are captured. - Press left Windows or Ctrl-Alt-D. As described above, for me those key presses are taken/eaten by the desktop, not WinUAE.
