Péter you are right, if we think about layouts/unicode/etc. Not about hotkeys. Hotkeys should be independent of keyboard layouts. In another case, it spoils the whole idea of hotkeys and makes them impossible to use. [ctrl, alt, meta (in any combination)] and some letter in non-latin layout must be converted to [ctrl, alt, meta (in any combination)] and latin letter(or symbol) at the same button on keyboard. If it contradicts the standard, it is a stupid standard. example: Russian ё converted to ` н - y ж - ; Greek: γ - g θ - u ρ - r
So we need only one system latin layout for hotkeys - drawed on the keyboard. It may be engish, german or other. All hotkeys in non-latin layouts should be converted to this layout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1226962 Title: Hotkeys not functional in non-latin keyboard layout in 13.10 Status in IBus: New Status in Indicator keyboard: Fix Released Status in Mutter: New Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite: New Status in Unity: Invalid Status in “gnome-settings-daemon” package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in “indicator-keyboard” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: New keyboard layout changer in Ubuntu 13.10 introduce old-new bug. Any system or application hotkey witch use char (for example: ctrl+alt+t for terminal or ctrl+t for new tab in browser) become unfunctional when selected non-latin keyboard layout. Hotkeys with F1-12, numbers and other non-character buttons works perfectly. Window manager hotkeys not affected by this bug. All hotkeys in system parameters->keyboard->hotkeys->windows works perfect with any keyboard layout. Workaround for some system hotkeys and two layouts (english and non- latin): rebind all hotkeys in your local layout. For example instead of ctrl+alt+t use ctrl+alt+τ (greek tau). That hotkey still work with english layout. If you use english and two different non-latin layouts this workaround helps only with one of them. ---------- For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322. ---------- To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ibus/+bug/1226962/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
