           Summary: Wayland: Changing keyboard layout with shortcut
                    containing the space key invalidates the shift + space
                    combination for ZWNJ
    Classification: Applications
           Product: systemsettings
           Version: 5.27.6
          Platform: Archlinux
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR

SUMMARY

If the shortcut for changing the keyboard layout contains the space key, this
will inactivate the use of shift + space for inputting ZWNJ using the Persian
keyboard layout.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add the Persian keyboard layout
2. Choose a shortcut that contains the space key, such as "alt + space" or "win
+ space" for changing keyboard layouts.
3. Try to type the ZWNJ in a word such as می‌روم using shift + space.

OBSERVED RESULT
Shift + space for ZWNJ will not work, the text will read  می روم.

EXPECTED RESULT
We should have ZWNJ instead of a regular space: می‌روم.

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I'm on Wayland. Using any other keyboard shortcut that does not contain the
space key will not interfere with inputting the ZWNJ using shift + space.
