Bug ID: 383113
Summary: Ctrl+Shift+letter shortcuts don't work if Ctrl+Shift
is used for layout switching in wayland
Product: kwin
Version: 5.10.4
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wayland-generic
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
This is a long-standing bug for X.org (see
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=865, 13 years already; although it
has a proposed patch, which is not accepted to upstream yet), and there is even
an old bug in KDE bugzilla (Bug 114326).
In wayland, apparently, things are quite different as the compositor - KWin -
now handles everything including shortcuts, which brings a hope to resolve this
issue once and for all.
The current behavior is following:
1) I have two keyboard layouts, russian and english, and I use ctrl+shift for
layout switching.
2) I open Konsole and press Ctrl+Shift+N in order to open new window
3) Right after I pressed Ctrl+Shift, the layout immediately switches. After I
press "N", Konsole thinks I've pressed just Ctrl+N and thus ignores the
shortcut (this I've checked via the KWin Debug Console), writing the "n" letter
in the terminal.
Clearly, switching the layout is not something I intended to do and this
behavior is wrong. The original idea proposed in bugs.fd.o 865 is to trigger
the shortcut (e.g. ctrl+shift) on key release instead of key press. Actually,
there is a lot of discussion there, which might be useful.
