Re: Keybinding lost with upgrade

Two other possibilities come to mind, though they might have occurred to
you already.

1. Some other application has claimed ownership of that shortcut. For
example, do you load fb's default .keys file? Then, you may want to check
if there is a C-A-j shortcut in there.

2. The java command you are using relies on some aspect of the calling
environment. Maybe it runs from the command line because there there are
environment variables set that make it work but these aren't defined if
fluxbox calls it directly...?

Regards,
Antonio
