remove caveats about keybindings
2002-04-28 Havoc Pennington <hp@pobox.com> * README: remove caveats about keybindings * src/metacity.schemas: add schemas for all the keybindings. * src/window.c (meta_window_activate): if in "show desktop" mode when a window is activated, leave show desktop mode. So e.g. when you click on a task in the task list, show desktop mode will be turned off. * src/workspace.c (meta_workspace_get_neighbor): new function that doesn't quite work yet (needs support for getting workspace layout from the pager) * src/prefs.c: keybindings stuff * src/keybindings.c: make keybindings configurable * src/ui.c (meta_ui_parse_accelerator): new function

METACITY BUGS, NON-FEATURES, AND CAVEATS
===
- - If you want keybindings which are not the ones mentioned above
- as features, you have to edit keybindings.c and recompile.
-
- - Some of the default keybindings (notable Alt+number) are total
- crackrock. This is just because I like those keybindings and
- things aren't configurable yet. Once bindings are configurable
- the dumb defaults will go away.
-
- You need an EWMH-spec compliant pager/tasklist to be able
to navigate graphically; this does NOT include GNOME 1.x,
but should include GNOME 2 and KDE 3.
- - Metacity turns off its keybindings for Emacs, because I use
- Alt-space in Emacs, and getting a window menu annoys me.
- This is a broken feature that will go away when keybindings are
- configurable.
-
- I haven't even read the ICCCM section about colormaps. So if you
have an 8-bit display you are probably screwed.
