How to fix Ctrl and Shift problems in games?

  • 772

I often had trouble with Ctrl and Shift modifiers while playing games (maybe this is gnome specific). For example if I press and hold Ctrl to crouch and I press 3 to select some gun while crouching I get in game menu (which is triggered by Esc).

    Remove bindings (keys will still work in game)

    xmodmap -e 'remove Control = Control_L'
xmodmap -e 'remove shift = Shift_L'

    add bindings back again after you are done playing game

    xmodmap -e 'add Control = Control_L'
xmodmap -e 'add shift = Shift_L'
