I think this report needs to clear up. The title and the description should get an update.
I am using stock Ubuntu 16.04.2 (i.e. Unity 7) and I have configured two keyboard layouts, EN, GR. I start gedit and I press the Ctrl+S (Save) hotkey. In both cases (Layouts: EN (English), GR (Greek)), the Save dialog box appears. Similarly, I tested with Firefox, Chrome and Chromium and it worked as well (Ctrl+τ to open a new tab). Therefore, it is working for me at least for these apps. Is there anyone that cannot get this to work on Ubuntu 16.04? If so, tell me what keyboard layouts you have enabled. Note that the first keyboard layout MUST be "En" (English). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1226962 Title: Hotkeys not functional in non-latin keyboard layout Status in aptana-studio-installer: New Status in Default settings and artwork for Baltix OS: New Status in LibreOffice: Fix Released Status in ibus: New Status in Indicator keyboard: Fix Released Status in Inkscape: New Status in Intellij Idea: New Status in monodevelop: New Status in Mutter: Fix Released Status in okular: New Status in OpenOffice: New Status in sigram: New Status in Unity: Fix Released Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in kdevelop package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in openjdk-7 package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in unity-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in gnome-settings-daemon source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in gnome-terminal source package in Xenial: Triaged Status in kdevelop source package in Xenial: Confirmed Status in openjdk-7 source package in Xenial: Incomplete Status in unity source package in Xenial: Fix Released Status in unity-settings-daemon source package in Xenial: In Progress Status in gnome-shell package in Fedora: Unknown Status in openoffice package in Fedora: Unknown Bug description: New keyboard layout changer in Ubuntu 13.10 introduce old-new bug. Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout. Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly. Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard layout. Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non- latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with english layout. If you use english and two different non-latin layouts this workaround helps only with one of them. Dear Ubuntu users and developers! Please include the following information to your comment about non-latin shortcuts problems: 1. What Ubuntu version do you have (Ubuntu 13.10, Ubuntu 13.10 GNOME, Ubuntu 14.04, Ubuntu 14.04 GNOME and so on), upgraded (describe version) or clean installed 2. What keyboard layout do you have 3. What shortcut for keyboard layout switching do you use 4. On which session you have problems - that is one from Unity, GNOME Shell, GNOME FlashBack/Fallback (Metacity), GNOME FlashBack/Fallback (Compiz) 5. With which program and its version and origin (Ubuntu repositories, PPA, non-deb binary package from some website) you have problems. By providing this information you can make bug-fixing much simpler and may be faster. ---------- For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322. ---------- To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/aptana-studio-installer/+bug/1226962/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
