Hi Dana,

thank you for your help! :)

>From the explanation in the linked text I would expect, that after
CAQ all keypressed are passed untouched through openbox to the window
which has focus.

When I press CAQ a tiny extra """window""" pops up and displays "C-A-Q".
So I think, open box had understood the keys I pressed.

Unfortunately it does not works as I expected (which mostly means: My
expectations are wrongly designed ;))

For example: I start blender. In blender Alt Right Mouse botton
connects two material nodes.
In Openbox the same keycombo resizes the focussed window.

After blender runs I click it so it has focus.
I press "CAQ" (the tiny window pops up) and press RMB.
The material nodes remain untocuhed and the blender window
gets resized.

How can I fix either my expectation or my configuration, which
I copied 1:1 from the linked text?

Best regards,
mcc
