Shortcut with Ctrl doesn't work on vanilla 12.04 Ubuntu

[mkorenkov]

I have just installed Guake on a new Ubuntu 12.04. I have modified settings through Guake preferences app and changed shortcut to use Ctrl + <KEY>.

Unfortunately, Ctrl + <KEY> shortkey doesn't work. Guake triggers on <KEY> instead of expected Ctrl + <KEY>.

These links below say that not only I have noticed this problem

Ctrl does not work for "Toggle Guake Visibility" but works for "Toggle Fullscreen". I tried using Ctrl+ for Visibility. However it works without Ctrl, just with the .

This also appeared in Archlinux.

GTK+ version 3.4.3 changed the string representation of Ctrl to <Primary>.

It's in the release notes, see here.  http://hpux.connect.org.uk/hppd/hpux/Gtk/Development/gtk+3-3.4.3/readme.html

I've written a fix (globalhotkeys/eggaccelerators.c), but I'm not familiar with the process of submitting it. I'll see if I can figure it out.

Nice to see there is a fix. How can I apply it ? and how long will take this fix to be included in next release ?

I have download 0.4.4 code and compiled (bug is still there) So I have applied patch provided by @devoidfury and now CTRL bug is gone.

I have attached /globalhotkeys.so file compiled on ubuntu 12.04-64BIT.

In case you are bored to wait for official fix that implement above patch but are lazy to compile it ...

I have managed that if you override this file with the one provided with ubuntu it fix the problem ( /usr/lib/guake/globalhotkeys.so )

Attached globalhotkeys.32.so compiled on ubuntu 12.04 32 bit. Just change the name to globalhotkeys.so and copy it to /usr/lib/guake/globalhotkeys.so
