Bug ID: 482401
Summary: Different behavior of key modifiers in wayland and x11
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: 5.27.10
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: zvova7...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When you are using an X11 session and, for example, use the left/right arrow
keys to move the cursor around the text, you can press the arrow key and
periodically press the control modifier to change the cursor jump strategy from
character-by-character to word-by-word. The sequence of pressing the keys
doesn't matter; you just press control when needed to switch to the
word-by-word style.
On Wayland, control needs to be pressed first, and it also doesn't allow
modification during arrow key presses. The X11 behavior is more comfortable for
me; however, I don't know if that's a bug or a feature.
