It's a matter of taste. One who used to have this style of switching wouldn't like to go for other. Maybe I can, but someone other wouldn't. It's clearly not a bug of some particular component, rather a imperfection of design. It works for Other Enemy System, so why not making it work in X?
Now I clearly see it's a matter of X keyboard layout. It would be nice to change its logic to: a) switch on keys up, not down; b) process the keys only if there was no other key pressed before kays went up. -- No text editor marks text with ctr-shift-cursor https://launchpad.net/bugs/54888 -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
