workspace-overview-confirm behaves unexpectedly with custom keybindings #265

Description

I wanted to redefine my keybindings to close the overview popup to Super+W, because why would I have two different shortcuts for opening and closing where I could have one, and keep my fingers on the same keys?

As specified in the wiki, I redefined workspace-overview-confirm, and found several bugs.
In the following I assume that I have workspace-overview-toggle to the default value ("['<Super>w']"), but behavior is the same if switching ws and us in every keybinding.

  • workspace-overview-confirm="['<Super>w']" (same as workspace-overview-toggle) 🔴
    Simply does not work. The popup will not close when pressing Super+W.
  • workspace-overview-confirm="['<Super>u']" (different keybind) 🟡
    Weirdly, Super+U has no effect, but Super+U+U does the job.
  • workspace-overview-confirm="['u', '<Shift><Super>u', '<Shift><Super>w']" (any of these) 🟢
    Works as expected, no repetition required.

By the way, workspace-overview-toggle doesn't toggle the popup, it only opens it. I don't know if it is a bug or a feature, but definitively misleading.
