Window click/keyboard pass-through to window manager?

[bjb]

I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts to control my window manager for things like full screen, moving, resizing and so on. It looks like ctrlr, or its toolkit perhaps, is being over-enthusiastic on intercepting all of these events and not passing through unknown events to the window manager. Is this something that can be changed easily?

Example: I resize a window by holding down the Windows key and clicking and dragging from inside the window, but in ctrlr this doesn’t work.

What WM are you using, also are you using the binary distro or are you building Ctrlr yourself.

Can you also provide a list of keystrokes (if it’s more then one) that don’t behave as they should i’ll set up a similar environment to test, and if needed i’ll post the issues on the JUCE forum, or i’ll try to fix it myself.

Hi Atom, thanks for the speedy response!

I’m using “awesome” as WM and I’m using the 5.3.0 64 bit binary build, though I saw this issue on 5.2.x when I last tried.

It’s the click pass-through that’s not working, not the keys as such, e.g. Windows key (keycode 133 keysym 0xffeb, Super_L) + left click for move, or right click for resize.

If it helps I can also email you my config file for awesome if you let me know your email address, though I think these ones are pretty standard in the config if you switch into floating window mode.
