With all due respect, I hope this is not the usual response to X bugs. I do not think it is unreasonable to ask that shortcuts be made available from the set of control keys, since this is a very widespread feature across operating systems. I have used Kubuntu for the past several years, and made use of the alt-shift key combination to toggle between the English and Greek keyboard layouts. After the recent KDE change I find this bug affecting my workflow, interrupting various keyboard combinations involving the use of those modifiers. I think it is appropriate to call this a bug in xkb's behaviour.
I wholeheartedly understand that X developers are more thinly stretched than most, and that this bug—despite its labeled importance—does not have as extreme a disruptive impact as many other bugs. I have no desire to complain of the amount of time this bug has spent open and demand that it be fixed. I would however request that this bug not be closed, as it is indeed a bug and the responsibility of xkb. -- 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
