Bug ID: 478323
Summary: keyboard layout change to CTRL-Shift shortcut brakes
other shortcuts
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: git-stable-Plasma/5.27
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: eugene.savit...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
Sorry. I do not know what exactly component it should assigned to...
Trying to move from Windows to Linux & KDE. Found a ground braking misbehavior,
making it impossible.
I used to change layouts with CTRL-Shift for 30 years.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add keyboard layouts: English, Estonian, Russian (it should work with only
one added language, but I have 3 of them)
2. Set keyboard language switcher to CTRL-Shift
Try to:
a) in Firefox close a tab and reopen it with CTRL-Shift-T shortcut
b) in Konsole try to copy a text with CTRL-Shift-C shortcut
c) any CTRL-Shift-X in any program that supports any of such shortcut
OBSERVED RESULT
a) opens a new tab
b) sends CTRL-C to terminate a command
c) any CTRL-Shift-X will not work
EXPECTED RESULT
a) reopens a closed tab
b) copies selected text
c) shortcuts works as designed by the program
THE PROBLEM ROOT
Pressing CTRL-Shift immediately changes the language, so the pressed letter
does not do anything. Why? Of XBD standard. A 20 years old bug for X11:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865
I hope KDE's community can influence the change in the XBD.
There is a patched X11 available, but since all moves to Wayland, it is not an
option anymore:
