Gnome-shell keyboard shortcuts do not work with only conky running

This is best described by a video showing the bug. You can see the video here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZWdExRxq-I.
Description
The gnome-shell keyboard shortcuts like Alt+F2,Alt+F1 and the media key shortcuts do not work if conky is the only program running. However if I open any other application like gedit or vlc or firefox or anything then the keyboard shortcuts work.
This is not a bug due to any upgrade or anything...I just installed arch linux 4-5 days before...and then installed conky 2 days. However I just noticed that the bug was due to conky. If conky is not running it all works perfectly...How do I solve this problem?
Hope I provided sufficient information....

I'm having the same problem. I ended up putting
gap_x 1595
in my conkyrc (1080p display) to force it back to the right side. Took a little bit of trial and error, but at least it works as it is supposed to and is placed where I want it.

  • Random keyboard shortcuts are not working with Yosemite

    I just upgraded my personal and work MacBooks to Yosemite and also updated my personal and work CC apps. Since then, I've had an array of problems. Random shortcuts, such as Cmd+H, don't work. On one of my laptops, I can no longer right-click in AI, and navigation in the app is jerky. Snap to grid only works intermittently. Any suggestions for this issue?

    Elizabeth,
    and also updated my personal and work CC apps
    Did you (actually) reinstall the applications after Yoesmite? That is recommended order/way, Yosemite being especially difficult.
    Also, you may need to update all sorts of drivers (including Wacom and printer).

  • My "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys arnt either? any help would be amazing!

    my "go to in point" and "go to out point" keyboard shortcuts are not working, and the default keys aren't either? any help would be amazing!  I use these keys a million times a hour and since I have switched to cc I cant get them to work. track selection makes no difference or if there are markers on the timeline or not. 
    Anyone else feel me on this?
    any help?

    Well that still didn't make any kind of difference.  I would just do without it but I've becomes really use to it with Avid for so long.  I have to admit there are a lot of small moments like this that makes me miss Avid.  Any other suggestions? I have checked the keyboard shortcuts a few times and maybe I'm just missing something here...

  • When icloud drive  is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.

    When iCloud Drive  is on on in ios8 and 8.0.2 the keyboard shortcuts do not work.
    ANyone found a solution to this?
    I Have tried it several times and when tured off iCloud Drive and tested the shortcuts on an email, all was working ok...turning icloud drive on again and again the keyboard shortcuts stoped working. Solutions?

    Hi Susana,
    I have a similar problem: when updating to iOS 8 my iPhone 5 the shortcuts disappeared and more over the keyboard often gets stuck. When repeatedly turning off iCloud drive the shortcuts are present again and the keyboard works as it should. A factory reset of my iPhone was not successful.
    The only "workaround" seems to turn off iCloud drive, however, this is of course no solution at all.
    Since reports on keyboard malfunctions are rather rare in this community, I think, you and I are using some special settings or apps which cause this problem.

  • Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number

    Why does my imessage not work with only 1 phone number? It keeps going to imessage and then back to text message

    Both you and the recipient have to have active data connections, and both devices have to have iOS 5 or higher to be able to use iMessage. Also, they both have to have iMessage activated. If that is already the case, there is a possiblility that iMessage is down. It has gone up and down several times in the past week. Check this page for status, and if necessary you can report a problem with a link in the lower right corner. http://www.apple.com/support/icloud/systemstatus/

  • "Clean Up By..." keyboard shortcut is not working

    For some reason, when I am in a Finder window or on my desktop, the "Clean Up By..." Kind, Name, Size etc shortcut is not working. I normally click use "Option + Command + 2" to clean up my desktop by kind. This no longer works. I have to go into the "View, Clean Up By..." menu to have this take place. The keyboard shortcut still appears to be mapped to this menu option (as can be seen in the attached screenshot). I have also went into system preferences and reset my keyboard shortcuts to default.

    You're most welcome. Thanks for posting back and letting me know. Glad to help.

  • Ctrl+= "make font size larger" keyboard shortcut is not working, maybe related to Windows 7?

    I changed recently from Windows XP to Windows 7 64bit, and since then the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+= to make "font size larger" is not working anymore. Ctrl+- to make "font size smaller" is working like always. I tried this with LV8.5 and LV2011 and the missing functionality is on both LV-versions. So I wonder if this is related to Windows 7... Or am I missing something?
    Any ideas?
    I tried to switch keyboard input language without success. Then searched for menu shortcuts in the LV options, where Ctrl+= is not listed as it is only a keyboard shortcut and not in the menu. I wonder also why the whole font setting is so nestled in LV, why not just having a toolbar...
    Looking forward for any help.

    It works for me. I'm using Windows 7 64-bit, but I'm running LabVIEW 8.2, so I can't test this on other versions. Are you sure you don't have some extension installed that's using that keyboard shortcut?

  • Keyboard shortcut does not work on first slide in Web Browser

    I'm using a workbook to learn Captivate.
    I added a keyboard shortcut, the Enter key, to buttons on the first and second slides.
    When I preview the project in Captivate, the shortcuts all work.
    When I preview the project in a Web Browser (specifically Firefox 3.6.16), the shortcut does not work on the first slide, but does work on subsequent slides.
    Any ideas why this would happen?

    Welcome to our community
    The issue is typically a matter of focus. Particularly in Firefox. In IE, when the page loads and is presented, the Flash object (your Captivate movie) is given focus. So the keyboard shortcuts work. But that doesn't happen in Firefox. In Firefox, you must first click somewhere on the Flash object to give it focus. From there forward, shortcuts work because the Flash object is now listening for them.
    In every class I facilitate I demonstrated this and advise that it's a good idea to have a button on the first slide. This serves two purposes.
    It forces the user to click to proceed
    It keeps the first slide paused until the user is ready
    Yeah, before someone comes along and says: (in an annoyingly nasal tone) Mr. Man, you KNOW there is an option in Captivate to keep it paused at the start... I'm well aware that Captivate offers this option without adding a button, but I prefer it for the reasons above.
    Cheers... Rick

  • Mail does not work with ONLY ONE e-mail address

    I am using mail with 6 different e-mail addresses all using godaddy as my mail server. Some(4) are imap, some(2) are pop3.
    All of my e-mails work great except for 1 (which is imap). My iPhone and iPad as well as entourage all work for this e-mail address. It is only Mail that does nto work all the time.
    This is the frustrating part. It works some times, and not others. No rhyme or reason to it. When it is not working, the only way to make it work right away is to delete the account and re-install the account. Some times, it will just start working on it's own. The worst part, is whenever I bring it in to a genius to look at it, it starts working, and of course, they say nothing is wrong.
    Any thoughts on how to fix this???

    Okay, it works the same way for me. I'm not sure whether "open all" will come back in that case, where there's only one bookmark. Does it slow down your workflow a lot to middle-click on the bookmark itself instead of on the folder?

  • F7 & F8 shortcut keys not working with Apple's new keyboard

    Using a Mac with Macs newish low profile keyboard.
    Nothing happens when I use these keys.
    The F5 & F6 keys work just fine.
    Is there something I'm doing wrong?
    Or is the new Apple keyboard not compatible with these shortcuts?
    What to do?
    plmk,
    thanks.

    You can go to the System Preferences --> Keyboard and Mouse and check "Use F1, F2 etc keys..." and F7 and F8 will work.
    But I don't know where the function key is on those new keyboards.

  • Sleep keyboard shortcut does not work in 10.4.6

    I just updated to 10.4.6 over the weekend. Unfortunately I realised that the sleep functionality seems to be broken. I have setup my machine to not go to sleep at all, but it tends to doze away after a few hours of being alive.
    Further, I used to use the keyboard shortcut Option-Command-Eject to put my machine to sleep, but this doesn't seem to work now.
    Anybody has any experience with this problem ?
    Thanks,

  • Command-S keyboard shortcut is not working

    Hi!
    On our (pre-iSight) 17" iMacG5 running 10.4.6 my son (logged in to his own account) can't use the keyboard shortcut Command-S to save documents (confirmed not to work in Pages and TextEdit - both made by Apple). Using the mouse he can select and use the Save command from the Edit meny.
    In all other accounts everything is normal.
    There was a topic called: "Keyboard Shortcut not working" that spanned from Nov 15 to Dec 30, 2005 but the topic was then for some reason archived.
    In this topic the last post stated:
    "Hey!
    Well I kinda have the same problem. It´s just another combo, that´s not working. It is "command+s" for saving files in various apps and it doesnt work in a single app. "Shiftcmds" for "save as" works just fine.
    I did a lot of restarts, checked the keyboard shortcut prefs, repaired permissions but the problem still remains. Anybody an idea what to do? Ersaing any .plist files or something?
    Oh, and it still works when I switch to another user!"
    That user had a MacMini (no details).
    In December 2005 there was no 10.4.6 and the other user had a MacMini, so this has to be a problem NOT with a specific Mac-model or a specific version of the OS.
    Maybe with Apple-software?
    Anyone got a clue!?!?

  • Some keyboard shortcuts are not working

    I have found a few keyboard shortcuts that don't work, no matter what you set the shortcut to. I only found two, and they are "Show Desktop", and "Show Launchpad". I have set them to many different combinations, none of which seem to work. every once in a while, it will work, but after my computer goes to sleep, it doesn't work again. It only works some of the times after I restart or shutdown. When I open the shortcut tab under the keyboard settings menu, it always defaults to the screenshots tab, and I don't know if this is a bug or not.

    there may be a conflict with some system-level shortcuts, for instance the shortcuts in the System Prefs for Dashboard and Expose default to F9, F10, F11, which will supersede the default FCP shortcuts for insert, overwrite, and replace edits.
    Check your keyboard layouts in FCP - if the shortcuts are assigned, then check those two System Prefs panes (keyboard, Dashboard & Expose) for system-level shortcuts that might be conflicting.

  • Dead_greek keyboard shortcut does not work in gtk2 apps

    I have set the right windows key as dead_greek via xmodmap.
