shortcut only modifiers are problematic.We used to have support for it and Lubos removed it. I once looked up the commit and the argument sounded sane. Given how much X11 is a beast especially in this regard and how much we lack wide spread knowledge (read Fredrik, Thomas or me) I highly recommend to not add code for X11. If distros think they can provide the support for it and manage the bazillion of possible problems (remapped keys, third-level switchers, etc. etc.) that's all fine for them. But if we provide it, it has to be the quality we expect for it. And I don't think we can provide that with the sparely spread knowledge (just check how much of the shortcut handling is not ported due to being to X-specific). The plan for Wayland is to handle this specially in the input module in KWin and only allow some very few actions and make the modifiers not configurable. Personally I rather spent time on making it work in Wayland than to try to understand bugs people will ping me with -) Cheers Martin
