VWR-2085 Ctrl-Alt-F1 Hide/Show UI Does Not Work Correctly Under Linux

VWR-7974 Meta-Issue: Shortcut Issues

Description

« Hide

When you press the CTRL_ALT_SHIFT_- key combination in Linux, the entire screen gets zoomed in, so if you're at 1280x1024 resolution on your monitor, you'll only be seeing a 1024x768 or 800x600 section of your screen. This is the entire screen, not just the SL window. Pressing CTRL_ALT_SHIFT_+ produces the opposite result, and can be used to fix this problem.

The CTRL_ALT_SHIFT_- key combination, used for disabling cloud rendering in SL, should be changed for the Linux build. And if CTRL_ALT_SHIFT_+ is used for anything, it should be changed as well. This behavior occurs in KDE, but I do not know if it does in GNOME or other desktop environments

This is expected behaviour in Linux, the modechage hotkey CTRL-ALT + and CTRL-ALT - can be disabled in the xorg.conf file

Please refer to Xorg documentation and or your distribution to change these options.

Changing this to a feature request because it IS annoyingly incompatible with Linux, but its not a bug

In addition to those key combination, the CTRL-ALT-F# key combinations used for the stuff in Advanced->Rendering->Types also conflict with Linux-specific key combos. These ones are used for switching virtual terminals.

The Advanced->Rendering->Types and Advanced->Rendering->Features will be changed soon. See http://jira.secondlife.com/browse/VWR-2085?focusedCommentId=85267#action_85267 Its too late for 1.22 but Hopefully it will make it in to 1.23
