#869 lxhotkey fails when using Control key

[Bee]

lubuntu 17.04
lxhotkey
Creating or editing a hotkey fails if the Control key is part of the hotkey.
lxhotkey records the Control key as <primary> rather than <control> and
When saved and inspecting the lubuntu-rc.xml file, the 'C-' is missing.</control></primary>

Hi bee, I made a patch to solve this problem: https://sourceforge.net/p/lxde/patches/544/

The patched project is here: https://github.com/acamargovieira/lxhotkey

My repository is not the official repository, but solves this problem until the official project is updated

Thank you for reporting this.

That is pretty much confusing, to be clear, since <primary> key is a virtual key forged by GNOME, it is not <control>, e.g. on OS-X it will be associated with <super> so just mapping it to <control> may miss real <control> on some keyboards or systems. Let me investigate the issue a bit more.</control></control></super></control></primary>

Just for the record. A temporary workaround may be opening the ~/.config/openbox/lxde-rc.xml config file in a text editor, finding the <keyboard> section and then manually adding the "C-" to the <keybind> field like this:

<keybind key='C-A-Up'>
<keybind key='C-F1'>
<keybind key='C-A-Tab'>
