Mint 21.1

Problem:

  1. With mintmenu active with default settings set Compiz as a window manager.
  2. Activate Scale plugin.
  3. Press Super+w (default shortcut in Scaleplugin) - doesn't work.
  4. Press Super+Shift+w (default shortcut in Scale plugin) - doesn't work. But Shift+Super+w works.

Possible solutions:

  1. Use mate-menu instead of mintmenu.
  2. Copy keybinding.py from mate-menu to mintmenu with necessary modifications:
root@mint21:/usr/lib/linuxmint/mintMenu# diff keybinding.py /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/mate_menu/keybinding.py

<     def __init__(self):

>     def __init__(self, desc):
214a215,218
>         self.desc = desc
>         self.label = Gtk.Label(label=desc)
>         if self.desc != "":
>             self.pack_start(self.label, False, False, 0)
