Bug ID: 489277 Summary: Shortcuts of Keyboard Layout Switcher malfunctioninge Classification: I don't know Product: kde Version: unspecified Platform: Ubuntu OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: samj...@gmail.com Target Milestone: --- Hello. I'm right now using KDE 5 on Kubuntu 24.04 LTS. As I have to frequently handle multiple Indian languages/scripts along with English, I have configured 7 keyboard layouts with the following shortkeys: Main: Alt+1 Latin Alt+2 Devanagari Alt+3 Tamil Spare: Alt+5 Grantha Alt+6 Kannada Alt+7 Telugu Alt+8 Malayalam (I'm not really sure what is the difference between Main and Spare layouts though… but that may not be relevant here.) Now what happens is that while the shortcut Alt+1 for Latin/English doesn't seem to change, the shortcuts for the later layouts seem to get shuffled at random. Right now I have the shortcuts set up as above, but 5 minutes ago it was shifting to Kannada when pressing Alt+3, now it's shifting to Grantha. This keeps randomizing and I cannot predict a pattern except to say that half of the time it doesn't shift to the layout I have told it to shift to. As a result I have to manually mouse to the tray to select the layout by opening the layout switcher menu and clicking, which is a waste of time for me who keeps having to switch between languages/scripts. I hope the problem can be identified and addressed. My versions: KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.13 I have actually been having this problem for almost a year since Kubuntu 22.04 LTS which I was using till mid-2023, but I thought there was some problem with the incremental upgrades of Kubuntu and it would be solved by upgrading to latest release. However since the problem persists I am reporting it. I have been using KDE ever since 2008 and I don't recollect having this problem before Kubuntu 22.04. Sometime in 2022/23 something might have changed leading to this problem? Sorry I can't be more specific than that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
