Hello, William Hua! Thank you for your great work on fixing bug 1218322.
It seems that we need a set of rules for adding tag verificiation-done for this bug. And we need a set of rules to mark it as fully fixed. I already mentioned in bug description that I created a Google Docs table for testing different keyboard shortcuts for changing keyboard layout (it is here - https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao5e713Ig9g_dEJrX2NRYlpLWWVzSWxsVXU4ck9HYVE&usp=sharing). In this document I prepared a list of known hotkeys (some from 'gnome- control-center keyboard' of Ubuntu 12.04.3 with GNOME 3.4.2, some of them were mentioned in comments for bug). Ubuntu 14.04 will be LTS and will be available in the next 6 month. So users of 12.04 LTS may want to update to it. I think that the best solution of keyboard layout switching problems will be to emulate "Keyboard Layout Options" (gnome-control-center keyboard in 12.04). Have you ever seen it? Some of hotkeys, which were mentioned in comments of bug 1218322 are non-standard. They are: * Ctrl+Space * Ctrl+Shift+Space * Shift+Space * Super+Shift * Ctrl+Alt+Space * Alt+Shift+Space * Ctrl+Super * Shift+Backspace * Shift+Ctrl+Alt The hotkeys which are listed in gnome-control-center of Ubuntu 12.04 and mentioned in comments are: * Alt+Caps Lock * Alt+Ctrl * Alt+Shift * Alt+Space * Any Win key (while pressed) * Both Alt keys together * Both Ctrl keys together * Both Shift keys together * Caps Lock * Caps Lock (to first layout), Shift+Caps Lock (to last layout) * Ctrl+Shift * Menu (has a conflict with right mouse click emulation) * Shift+Caps Lock The full list of 12.04 hotkeys are available in gnome-control-center keyboard or in my comment ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1218322/comments/216). It seems, that current realization of layout switching hotkeys definition in 13.10 make possible to define some of that hotkeys. I think that bug 1218322 can be marked as fixed only if all hotkeys for layout switching that may be set with current next-source<->previous-source logic: 1. can be set ; 2. can be used in Unity session and in GNOME FlashBack session (with and without effects) and in Ubuntu GNOME ; 3. do not brake other shortcuts (for example, Ctrl+Shift must allow to use Ctrl+Shift+C/V in gnome-terminal, use Ctrl+Shift+arrows for text selecting, etc.). So we need testers that can verify that all possible hotkeys are working normally. Test results may be written in Google Docs table. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-control-center in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1218322 Title: Can't set keyboard layout change to alt+shift, ctrl+shift, etc. Status in Gnome Settings Daemon: Invalid Status in Ubuntu GNOME: Confirmed Status in “gnome-control-center” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” source package in Saucy: Triaged Bug description: A PPA which should provide some relief for this issue is available at https://launchpad.net/~attente/+archive/1218322. There still remain issues regarding keyboard shortcuts though. To install: sudo add-apt-repository ppa:attente/1218322 sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get upgrade === gnome-control-center === Impact: the UI to change the layout switching keys doesn't work Test case: - open gnome-control-center's text input settings - click on the "next layout key" entry - try entering a key combinaison (e.g ctrl-space) -> the UI should reflect the new keys Regression potential: that UI was not working before, it should only be an improvement (some key combos are not working as expected, that's another issue and shouldn't be mixed with this one) === gnome-settings-daemon === Impact: attempting to change keyboard layouts using only modifier keys doesn't work Test case: - add at least two input sources through gnome-control-center's text entry settings - use gsettings to set the input switching shortcut to ctrl+left shift: gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source "['<Primary>Shift_L']" - press and release ctrl+left shift -> the current input source should change Regression potential: The input switching shortcut might capture other non-modifier shortcuts, but users will need to consider this when choosing their switching shortcut anyways. For users this bug affects, this represents a working solution for a critical bug. ---------------------- Test results for different keyboard layout change hotkeys may be viewed and added in the Google Docs table, created by Norbert (https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/ccc?key=0Ao5e713Ig9g_dEJrX2NRYlpLWWVzSWxsVXU4ck9HYVE&usp=sharing). ---------------------- Separate bug reports for individual layout switching hotkey combinations: Super+Space and Shift+Super+Space: * Unity greeter (bug 1245137); * Unity session (bug 1245136); * lock screen - gnome-screensaver (bug 1245138, bug 1245256); * ubiquity installer (bug 1242572). Alt+Shift: * Unity greeter (bug 1245258) * Can't set keyboard layout change to Alt+Shift (bug 1245926) Ctrl+Shift: * lock screen - gnome-screensaver (bug 1245270) * Unity greeter (bug 1245268) * Can't set keyboard layout change to Ctrl+Shift (bug 1245991) * If keyboard layout switching hotkey is set to Ctrl+Shift, Ctrl+Shift+C/V are not working in gnome-terminal (bug 1246656) Shift+Shift: * Can't set keyboard layout change to Shift+Shift (bug 1245272) * lock screen - gnome-screensaver (bug 1245278) * Unity greeter (bug 1245280) Bugs which belong to keyboard layout switching: * Hotkeys not functional in non-latin keyboard layout in 13.10 (bug 1226962) * Keyboard Layout Options window is missed in gnome-control-center keyboard (bug 1245064) * Unable to set keyboard LED to show alternative layout in gnome-control-center keyboard in Saucy (bug 1245188) * Unable to set Miscellaneous compatibility options in gnome-control-center keyboard in Saucy (bug 1245199) * Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock screen (bug 1244548) * [FFe] indicator-keyboard not working under greeter (bug 1228207) * Lost ability to remap Caps Lock to Ctrl (bug 1215826) * gnome-control-center keyboard no longer has way to modify caps lock key behavior (bug 1224575) * Pressing Caps Lock toggles LED even when mapped to another key (bug 1221403) ---------------------- Can't set keyboard layout change to ctrl+shift, Caps Lock, alt+shift etc. "Shift", "CapsLock" keys are just ignored in settings. Also the default shortcut was set to "Super+Space" that is inconveniently, because Dash is opening when you swich your keyboard layout.
