[Github-comments] [geany] keybindings behaving erronously with xmodmap-ed layout (#951)

[Colomban Wendling]

> I've modified my keymap with the following modification `xmodmap -e "keysym k = k K Down"` meaning `altgr-k` should function like `down` arrow navigation key. 

Doesn't work for me, AltGr seem to be the 5th entry here, so I had to do `xmodmap -e "keysym k = k K l M Down N"` (for testing :).  Might be my keymap though.

> Seems to work mostly. I am able to use the `edit>preferences>keybindings` system to assign some action to `<primary>down` and that action gets triggered properly.

Does here indeed, properly recognizes <kbd><Primary>Down</kbd>.

> If however i leave `<primary>down` unbound then it appears whatever is bound to `<primary>k` is executed instead.

Not for me.  If I replace the <kbd><Primary>Down</kbd> bind by <kbd><Primary>K</kbd>, they are triggered as expected (e.g. only when actually hitting that very combination).

Both with GTK2 and 3.

I don't think it would explain your problem, but don't you have more than one thing bout to <kbd><Primary>K</kbd> or <kbd><Primary>Down</kbd>?  Geany more or less allows multiple binds to the same key, although actually only very few bindings really do something meaningful about it.
