Hello,

I have this strange(?) problem:

When using programmer's dvorak layout, ctrl+x is not passed to the application (well, sometimes (in jed for example) pressing ctrl+meta+x and waiting a couple of seconds for some reasons triggers the ctrl+x event, in other cases (emacs) the application is aware of the meta key and that doesn't work at all).

Switching to the italian layout works flawlessly (there ctrl+x works as espected).

The problem is not there using lxde, so it's not Xorg related.

Switching from kwin to openbox is not solving the problem.

Xorg.conf contains:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "dvp"
EndSection

In the keyboard layout control module I have USA-dvp as first layout and Italy-it as second.

Disabling keyboard layouts is not making any difference.

There are no shortcuts associated to ctrl+x anywhere (at least that i could find, and the very fact that changing the keyboard's layout solves the problem should be a proof for that)

Any ideas about what could I look for to solve this (rather annoying) problem?

Thanks!

If you try to remap the keyboard shortcut whilst using the problematic layout in System Settings( Global Keyboard Shortcuts ) does the problem persist?

Do you have Klipper running?

bcooksley: yes, I tried to assign ctrl-x to something and it was working as expected, (not passed to applications but intercepted and triggered his action) and kde was not complaining about the combination being already assigned to something else (as expected: it was working fine switching the keyboard layout to italian).

But your advice has been precious anyway: disabling the ctrl-meta-x binding from klipper somehow solved the problem of the (totally unrelated?) ctrl-x being captured. Thank you!
