Package: scim
Version: 1.0.2-3
Severity: wishlist

The "Shift" hotkey comes from the Microsoft pinyin input methods. However, it 
is very frustrating because it is very easy to accidentally hit the "Shift" key 
(e.g., when thinking about how something should be typed) and then all the 
partially-typed characters are lost. Also, input methods used in Taiwan and 
Hong Kong traditionally do not have a "Shift" hotkey, so when the "Shift" 
hotkey changes the input mode to "English", the user will have a hard time 
figuring out why he/she cannot type Chinese any more.

For this reason, I think it is essential to have some way to completely disable 
the "Shift" hotkey. The "Ctrl+Space" hotkey already does the same function.
