Thanks for your report. The conflict you point at is unfortunate. Nevertheless, removing those shortcuts is not an option. Especially Ctrl+Shift+u is a well established method on Linux to type characters which are not available via the keyboard layout you are using:
https://help.ubuntu.com/stable/ubuntu-help/tips- specialchars.html#ctrlshiftu Ctrl+Shift+e is newer, but probably used and appreciated by many users. Your bug makes me think of this IBus issue: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2163 That proved to be an Ubuntu specific bug which has been fixed in groovy but not (yet) in focal. Fixing it in focal would be a way to improve the situation. If you want that to happen, please file an ibus bug as I suggested in my latest comment at that issue. I think you make a too big deal of the fact that ibus-setup is not searchable in Ubuntu. It's not an Ubuntu specific thing, btw, but it's the same for GNOME irrespective of distro: https://github.com/ibus/ibus/commit/66141bbc Alt+F2 followed by ibus-setup is not "extremely difficult". But indeed, you need be aware of the possibility to change it that way. ** Bug watch added: github.com/ibus/ibus/issues #2163 https://github.com/ibus/ibus/issues/2163 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1885749 Title: Enhancement: Remove default Emoji shortcuts Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Current Situation =================== (1) Per default ibus preferences are hidden in Ubuntu (I would say it's very difficult to reach ibus feature) (2) ibus has two default shortcuts, apparently for Emoji-something: - Ctrl+shift+e - Ctrl+shift+u (2.1) These shortcuts can prevent shortcuts from other applications being used (one example: VSCode's "show files" (2.2) Because of (1) it's extremely difficult to change these shortcuts, if they cause any problems - Especially because of (2.3). (2.3) The user has no way of knowing that ibus introduced these shortcuts (because they would only use Settings->Region & Language, which does not show any shortcut options) (3) I guess the Emoji shortcuts ( (2) ) have no benefit for a normal user. Reason (guess): The normal user would not understand what to do after pressing the shortcut) Suggestion ============ Remove shortcuts as a default setting Misc ==== - Why is this bug not filed in github.com/ibus/ibus/issues? -> Because in ibus as standalone, where the user has a direction connection to it, it might make sense to keep the shortcuts. For the moment I would say this is a Ubuntu related issue, as ubuntu is hiding the dialog. (... why is the dialog gui even installed, if we don't was to show it? ...)
