Super + W bug on Ubuntu 14.04

[axtux]

Hello,

First, I would like to thank the developers of this script. It is so good to be able to do what you want with your fingers. I don't even understand why this is not yet included as part of Ubuntu.

Configuration

SUPER + W as shortcut for 3-fingers swipe UP and DOWN on Ubuntu 14.04 (with Unity)

Step to reproduce

Swipe up and down with 3 fingers

Expected result

Spreads all windows in the current workspace swiping UP, and get back to your current window when swiping DOWN (this is SUPER + W behaviour)

Actual result

The result is correct except that after swiping DOWN, ubuntu search is opening and I don't know why

Details

• If I set an other shortcut for 3 fingers swipe, the bug doesn't appear
• If I set this shortcut for 4 fingers, this bug appears too
• If I swipe UP + DOWN or DOWN + UP or DOWN + DOWN or UP + UP, the bug always appear at the second swipe

eventKey.cfg

{
'ubuntu'=>{
    swipe2 =>{
        press   =>  "default",
    },
    swipe3 =>{
        right   =>  "LCT/LSH/TAB",   # ctrl + shift + tab, previous tab
        left    =>  "LCT/TAB",       # ctrl + tab, next tab
        down    =>  "LSK/w",         # super + w, show/hide all windows
        up      =>  "LSK/w",         # super + w, show/hide all windows
        press   =>  "default",
    },
    swipe4=>{
        right   =>  "LCT/LAL/LEF",   # ctrl + alt +  left, previous workspace
        left    =>  "LCT/LAL/RIG",   # ctrl + alt +  right, next workspace
        down    =>  "LSK/s",         # super + s, show/hide workspaces
        up      =>  "LSK/s",         # super + s, show/hide workspaces
        press   =>  "default",       # no choice with Unity
    },
},

I'm having the same problem :(

It might something to do with the with the way the super key isn't sent at the same time as the other keys, or something similar.
I resolved the issue by using unity tweak tool to change the keyboard shortcut, and then used that in the eventKey.cfg
Don't change it to an assigned shortcut for another function
