1744536 - Changing Accel key to Meta/Super does not work under Wayland

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 1857289

(Core :: Widget: Gtk, defect)

Description

[ozcanesen]

Attachment: FirefoxNightly_AboutSupport.log

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:96.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/96.0

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to "about:config"
2. Set "ui.key.accelKey" to 91
3. Close Firefox
4. Start Firefox with "MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=0 firefox"
5. Go to "about:support", confirm "Graphics > Window Protocol" is "xwayland"
6. Press Meta/Super+T, It opens New Tab, Press Meta/Super+W, Closes Tab
7. Close Firefox and restart with "MOZ_ENABLE_WAYLAND=1 firefox".
8. Go to "about:support", confirm "Graphics > Window Protocol" is "wayland"
9. Press Meta/Super+T, no new tab is open and just types "t". Press Meta/Super+W, tab is not closed and just types "w".

I can reproduce this problem under multiple Wayland compositors.

• weston 9.0.0
• sway-git r6825.02b412a3-1 ( wlroots-git 0.14.0.r413.g812ab2e7-1 )

---

Other related versions:
wayland 1.19.0-2
wayland-protocols 1.24-1
xorg-xwayland 21.1.3-1

I also tested both stable Firefox and clean build Trunk.

• Firefox (94.0.2)
• Firefox Trunk (bookmarks/central revision 94bf4d01a02d7bda2f0543d8ee8667826f3ec52d) built using default settings plus (--disable-optimize, --disable-debug, --disable-tests)

Alternatively instead of using keycode 91, I tried 224 , which didn't work on both xwayland and wayland.

I already have codebase, if you give me some pointers in the codebase I can try to trace the problem further.

[BugBot [:suhaib / :marco/ :calixte]]

The Bugbug bot thinks this bug should belong to the 'Core::Widget: Gtk' component, and is moving the bug to that component. Please revert this change in case you think the bot is wrong.

Can reproduce this.

Setting "ui.key.accelKey" to 91 works well under Xwayland

However, Firefox doesn't treat Win(Super_L) key as modifier key under Pure Wayland

I observe the same behavior in Firefox 109.01

Let's give some votes to the issue, it's really annoying.
