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: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: igor.pobo...@gmail.com 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. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
