Background
I am running Awesome WM inside my virtual machine. From Awesome WM's guide:
Mod4+h, Mod4+l, Mod4+Shift+h and Mod4+Shift+l to resize windows.
In which <Mod4> is synonymous with <Super> or the Windows button.
But the <Mod4+h> and <Mod4+l> combinations do not resize the windows as expected, while <Mod4+Shift+h> and <Mod4+Shift+l> does do something. So I went into my Fedora host's Gnome settings and removed the <Mod4+l>=lock screen shortcut, and now the VM registers "Mod4+h, Mod4+l, Mod4+Shift+h and Mod4+Shift+l" correctly. Then, I created the lock screen short cut once again, and the VM is still able to register all the above operations.
EDIT: After the reboot of the VM, the shortcuts don't work anymore.
Questions
- Why did removing the host lock screen shortcut make it work?
- How to make it so that shortcuts are only registered in the VM when my mouse is captured inside the VM?
Thank you very much.
