[Bug 1244548] Re: Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock and login screen
Again, the fix is easy: always change the layout back to default when locking the screen, or before presenting the login applet. The initial login also has the default layout, the changed layout is not relevant for logging back in. As a additional service to the user, you could switch the layout back to what it was before locking the screen. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244548 Title: Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock and login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1244548/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1244548] Re: Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock and login screen
PROPOSED FIX The current popup shows: Information: Username, Current keyboard layout (also a button) Buttons: Switch user, Unlock When you click on Switch user, you end up at the correct behaviour: the keyboard is switched back to the default layout, the same layout that the user used to login, and it does offer the option to switch user (the standard login screen). Proposed fix: go straight to the login screen (it fixes the layout, and it doesn't require extra clicking when a alternate keyboard layout happened to be active, and in case it is desirable to switch the user, it is immediately possible) As a bonus, you're using a well tested and beautifully designed screen, and you're skipping an unnecessary widget. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244548 Title: Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock and login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1244548/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1244548] Re: Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock and login screen
After more than a year, may I suggest the right way of handling this? The lockscreen password dialogue should default to the keyboard that the current user uses for normal login, ie, the standard layout. Because that is what that user normally would get for login, and it will work as always, as expected. This should be an easy fix, and the only correct way of handling it -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244548 Title: Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock and login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1244548/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

@50 That is very strange, because Ctrl-Shift is no longer possible as a key sequence since 13.10 onwards... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244548 Title: Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock and login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1244548/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 1244548] Re: Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock and login screen
I think this came up especially because the old language-agnostic ways of changing layouts is no longer available. I used to use Shift+CapsLock, which would be recognized in any layout. Unfortunately that is no longer possible. Now I use Ctrl-` (which is something different in the main other layout I am using!). But the lock-screen for a particular user should use that user's keyboard shortcuts for things like changing keyboard layout. I would love to be able to use Alt+Alt or Shift+CapsLock or even just CapsLock to change layouts..! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-screensaver in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1244548 Title: Keyboard shortcut for changing keyboard layout does not work on lock and login screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-screensaver/+bug/1244548/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
