Re: [Xbindkeys-devel] Binding stops working after layout change

[Philippe Brochard]

Ok, thanks a lot. It's applied in the last (d4a943c) commit.
BTW, I use a bitwise AND instead of a Logical AND.
Please, test and report any problem.

It seems there is another bug pending. I do not make a new release yet.

Thanks again,

Regards,

Philippe
