Dota 2 Forum

Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit
The game generlly runs fine. I have some issues with the hotkeys though.
Pressing alt+ability key to use active mode of an ability does not work. It is as if alt key is not detected as pressed.
I am checking that in the menus as well for setting a hotkey and alt is not detected as pressed in order to set it.

Also some weird behaviour is that when i first launch the game I have to alt-tab momentarily for the keyboard to be working properly.

regards

What is probably happening is the the HUD is intercepting your Alt key press. It can be remapped. Go to System Settings -> Keyboard and select the Shortcuts tab. There you should see Key to show the HUD. Remap it to something else.

Mine is windows key + alt and it registered as "Mod2 + Mod4 + Super + Hyper + Alt L" the first three may be what the system may call the windows key (sometimes called Mod or Super or Hyper(?))

I believe Silviu is right. I am using Kubuntu 12.10 and 12.04 in different machines. That probably means KDE does not use those keys as default. Maybe those keys may be used by default on Unity?

Thanks guys! You were right.
As it turns out Unity was to blame. "Alt" was captured by the DM and did not allow for the ALt+ability key to be detected.
By reassgning the HUD key it works fine.
