Ctrl+Shift, - Ctrl Hi ! I have exactly the same problem, I have installed compiz two days ago in my ubuntu hardy heron 8.04 in a dell latitude d630, and since then my shift key does no longer work.
Pressing the ctrl+shift keys at the same time and then releasing ctrl key while holding down the shift key pressed does work, then I can type capital letters when compiz is active...but this requires quite Some brain trainning ! e.g. it is also needed to write all the shift characters in the keyboard such as the question marks ! If I switch the window manager to metacity the problem dissapears, but happens again as soon as I switch back to compiz. I have searched for compiz plugins which might have some binding using the shift key, but I did not find anything. Thanks. -- Shift key not working with compiz as active window manager. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246081 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
