Left Alt + space/shift expands the file menu but should do nothing. #3871
Comments
in Windows [l]Alt + Space opens the window management context menu, same as happens when you click the logo in top left of the window |
Though I can not reproduce on my linux machine, [l]Alt + Space opens some search feature of KDE, so electron isn't catching it [l]Alt down and release shows the menu bar as expected. |
It was me.

on my lalt-space xev shows:
|
riot-web opens menu on the first "ISO_First_Group" in the sequence. |
Why reference to element-hq/element-desktop#787 is here? The reporter (and me too) is not downthumb on the menu bar that appears when Alt is pressed and released. Time to time I've install Element-desktop, and remove it after 5 minutes of endless fighting with menu bar. The "severity" of this bug rather blocking than minor. Additional observation: |
Do you have this issue with any other modern Electron apps? Element doesn't do have any explicit handling for Alt, its all boilerplate Electron. |
I don't use any. But I've install typora for testing and have got the same behavior. After some searching I've found that it is really an electron issue |
Is this menu needed? What is it needed for?
Jitsi has no menu. |
The menu is required to bind to accelerators for simple key bindings whilst the window is in focus by the main process without external dependencies. |
Closing in favour of element-hq/element-desktop#787 |
Rageshake report from a user who uses left alt + space to change keyboard layout but Riot electron catches that and opens the file menu.
User reports that it is more normal for left alt press-and-release to open the file menu, and for left alt + space to be unbound and uncaptured.
This is likely platform specific (Linux) - I think Windows left-alt-plus-space might usually be bound.
