Alt + F4 disable the keyboard

bOlaE · 2017-10-25 18:15:06

I have tried to install Rofi https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Rofi and custom themes need xorg-xrdb https://www.archlinux.org/packages/?name=xorg-xrdb so I installed it too. After reboot, when I type Alt + F4 the beyboard become disabled and when I retype Alt + F4 keybord works.
What may be the problem?

That you probably bound Alt+F4 to some Rofi feature in the process?
(It'll grab the keyboard exclusively until its closed - at least that's what dmenu does)

run "sleep 5; ps aux | grep rofi" and press alt+f4, then wait more than 5 seconds before pressing alt+f4 again and see whether you've a running rofi process in the meantime. cross check that with another "ps aux | grep rofi".

sleep 5; ps aux | grep rofi

bola 3953 0.0 0.0 10888 2360 pts/0 R+ 21:23 0:00 grep --color=auto rofi

ps uax | grep rofi

bola 3966 0.0 0.0 10888 2300 pts/0 S 21:24 0:00 grep --color=auto rofi

PS: I have removed Rofi and removed too xorg-xrdb but there was some dependences problem so I run sudo pacman -Rdd xorg-xrdb

How Can I remove completely Rofi and xorg-xrdb?

pacman -Qi xorg-xrdb

Will (among other) list what depends on that package. Removing stuff ignoring deps is no good idea at all and apparently alt+f4 does not trigger a rofi insteance.
No idea what you've bound to that shortcut but i'd inspect your desktop environt shortcuts.

sudo pacman -R xorg-xrdb

vérification des dépendances...

I get this when I try to remove xorg-xrdb

And even though my French is terrible, it should be clear which packages require xrdb.
Also xrdb won't allocate global shortcuts.
