I can not bind any hotkey having "slash" in it.

[LavirtheWhiolet]

For example, when I set "slash" as a hotkey and click "Close", the menu hangs up. And after reboot it does not react on this hotkey (while it is still "slash" in its settings).

Is this still an issue for you?
I can't reproduce it in LMDE with mintMenu 5.5.1. Slash key binds and works fine.

[LavirtheWhiolet]

I guess it is fixed in 5.5.1. I will reopen it if needed.

Linux Mint 17 Qiana MATE. MintMenu allows to set hotkey "Ctrl+Alt+/­­­­" ("slash") but it does not react on it. It does not hang up now but it still does not react on that hotkey.

Can't reproduce it in Mint 17 with mintMenu 5.5.8. Slash, Ctrl-slash, Ctrl-Shift-slash, Ctrl-Alt-slash - all work fine.

[LavirtheWhiolet]

It is strange. I can reproduce it in 1 computer of 2 only.

Check the key bindings via mate-keybinding-properties tool - maybe slash is already bound somewhere?

[LavirtheWhiolet]

No, nothing is bound to that hotkey in mate-keybinding-properties.

It appears that it does bind the hotkey but uses the wrong one. It binds to the "backslash" key (red in the image below) instead of what I actually type (green in the image).

Also the layout image is not quite correct. The green button of my keyboard actually looks like the following:

?  ,
/  .

I tried all "Dell" and "Generic" layouts but none of them had such an image of the green button.

This appears to have been an issue with incorrectly configured keyboard layout, as binding slash demonstrable worked fine with correctly configured keyboard layout. Closing.
