Although everything was working perfectly well, keyboard shortcuts like Alt+F4, Alt+TAB, etc. have suddenly stopped working in my Xubuntu 14/Xfce4 installation.
Nothing happens if I hit them, and oddly, if I try to close a terminal by Alt+F4, the letters ;3S
get written in the console.
Of course, the shortcuts in "Settings>Window Manager>Keyboard" are all correctly configured, and I have checked in xev
that the keys are still mapped correctly.

Where could this come from ?
EDIT: I localized the problem: it comes from xmodmap:
I have a .Xmodmap
file in my home folder, containing only
keycode 21 = asciicircum dead_grave dead_circumflex dead_grave dead_tilde dead_ogonek dead_tilde
keycode 77 = NoSymbol NoSymbol NoSymbol
(so nothing related to Alt
). If I remove it, shortcuts work again. Why ? How could I have both working at the same time ?
xfce4-keyboard-settings
or test another combination forAlt+F4
?
