This (bad) behaviour is (bad) work-around to other bugs. Alt-Shift is the default language/keyboard layout shortcut. Nearly everyone outside of US/Anglo saxon world will expect this keyboard shortcut (including Mark Shuttleworth).
Just installed 10.10 and surprised these numerous Alt-Shift bugs have not been resolved. If Alt-Shift is used to switch keyboard layouts (as it is in Windows) then Alt-Shift-Tab (to switch windows in reverse, also standard Windows and Gnome behaviour) no longer works. However, Shift- Alt-Tab and Alt-Shift will work together -- certainly not an intuitive solution. https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/322068 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/karmic/+source/compiz/+bug/150702/comments/12 Perhaps someone can go through the possibly 800 bug reports and come up with common use cases, mark them all duplicate and finally solve these issues? (personally, I only encounter 1 or 2 error/use cases). https://launchpad.net/+search?field.text=Alt-Shift -- SHIFT+ALT != ALT+SHIFT https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/193018 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in ubuntu. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
