As in comment 101, the current behavior of X prevents a lot of interesting usage of shift keys as shortcuts.
A Windows-only compose key program uses the "ctrl" key as the compose key. This is apparently impossible to do in X input methods because you can only bind actions to the press of "ctrl". What is wanted is an action if "ctrl" is pressed and released without hitting any other keys. I think this can be solved more easily. For any "shift" key, you can bind actions to them, but they are only triggered if you press & release the shift key. All other keys trigger bound actions when they are pressed. The keyboard switching is NOT a special case. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36812 Title: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/36812/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
