[Bug 36812] Re: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts
Daniel (or anyone else), can you explain why the current state of things with keyboard shortcuts is considered better? Here is how I see it works in Windows and Ubuntu. How it works in Windows: (I press Ctrl) + (I release Ctrl) = the mouse pointer is shown. (I press Ctrl + I press Shift) + (I release Ctrl + I release Shift) = a keyboard layout changed. (I press Ctrl + I press Shift + I press N) + (I release Ctrl + I release Shift + I release N) = a new folder created. How it works in Ubuntu: --- (I press Ctrl) = the mouse pointer is shown. (I press Ctrl) = the mouse pointer is shown. Though, I wanted also to press Shift, then release Ctrl and Shift and get a keyboard layout changed. (I press Ctrl) = the mouse pointer is shown. Though, I wanted also to press Shift and N, then release Ctrl, Shift and N and get a new folder created. As you can see, even if dozens of shortcuts are possible, they get completely useless in Ubuntu as they get blocked immediately one presses Ctrl (in the example I presented). I always thought that making things easier and faster is very important (especially, nowadays). It's easier and faster to copy/paste via Ctrl+C, Ctrl+V than via Edit menu where you have to find where those copy/pase items reside. Maybe I and other users don't understand something.

[Bug 36812] Re: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts
The GNOME issue is completely separate from the problem of "triggering layout change on press", as GNOME does not use the kxb behavior at all - it actually disables any options set using setxkbmap - instead it listens to keyboard events and implements its own custom behavior that mimics Mac OS. Note that with the current release (19.10, but also tested 20.04) on Kubuntu with xserver 1.20 that *does not* include the patch from freedesktop.org bug 865, layout switching works on release - as requested. I'm not sure what introduced this behavior and whether it is in X.org or in KDE. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to the bug report. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36812 Title: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-control-center/+bug/36812/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 36812] Re: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts
@Alexey Kozlov, thanks for your well written summary of the problem. The one warning flag is the contradicts spec issue (which may be what has blocked this from being taken up 'til now), however the exact words from upstream about this seem less dire: The patch looks pretty much fine to me, except that I'd just hardcode release-only and don't try to make it configurable. I'm not entirely sure about the bit marked with KLUDGE, and would like to find a better way to do it, but if that's fixed (I'll try to have a look this weekend or next, depending on time), my only objection to merging it is that it explicitly contradicts the spec. I'm not entirely convinced that's a dealbreaker though. I can understand that voiding the spec is a blocker for upstream, but at the distro level there's a little bit more flexibility, especially given the top-level direction that we'll eventually move away from X11 towards something Wayland-ish anyway. It sounds like the next step required for this patch is to gain some more widespread testing. Since the change is behavioral, it seems low risk for causing crashes or other critical issues, so tentatively I'm willing to stick it in natty and see how it goes. ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided = Wishlist ** Changed in: xserver-xorg-input-evdev (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Fix Committed -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36812 Title: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

(me too) confirm Alt-Shift keyboard layout switch incompatible with Alt- Shift-Tab Window switching in reverse in Ubuntu 10.10... This bug is set to Low/Medium priority, but what are the recommended work-arounds? Alt-Shift is an obvious keyboard layout switch because it is default in Windows. Alt-Space is default on Mac OS X (I think) but that is incompatible with Gnome window menus. Various other combinations conflict (like Alt-Gr/Right Alt is nec. for many non-English layouts).

[Bug 36812] Re: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts
Yesterday I upgraded to maverick and today experienced layout switching bug. Not sure if it relates to the original xserver because I immediately installed patched version kindly provided by Oded Arbel. However, here is how it looks like: at a random moment when I switch layout gnome-settings-daemon spikes to 100%, active layout is 'stuck' (i.e. it does no longer switch) and when I press and hold a key a random sequence of two characters is printed (chars from two installed layouts mapped to the same key). My second layout is cyrillic, so if I hold down ф, printed sequence looks like фaффффaaaффaфa. I haven't found any guaranteed way to trigger such a behavior, but is does happen several times a day at moments when I switch layouts actively (1-2 times a second). Have anybody else faced something like this with the original xserver and/or patched version? -- Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 36812] Re: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts
I have seen this behavior as well in the patched X-Server, and I may have also seen this with the original Maverick X-Server - though I'm not sure about it. I get this bug triggered only by using Synergy, but with almost 100% consistency: I use Ubuntu 10.04 as a Synergy server, and 10.10 is the client. If I move my mouse to the 10.10 screen and try to switch languages by using ALT-SHIFT on the server keyboard, I get the faulty behavior. What happens is that gnome-settings-daemon - which is normally responsible for switching layouts when you switch applications - starts switching through all the layouts uncontrollably as if the switching keys are stuck, and takes up 100% CPU. If you start typing anywhere, you'd get characters from all layouts mixed together. At this point, if you try to use the keyboard layout indicator in the session applet, you'd see that its stuck and does not respond to requests to set the layout. Finally, sending TERM to gnome-settings-daemon will not stop it and you must use the KILL signal (-9). I believe this is a gnome-settings-daemon, mostly as I can also cause gnome-settings-daemon to spike to 100% CPU usage simply by sending it a TERM signal while working normally. At which point the keyboard layout indicator is again stuck and does not respond to actions, but using the layout switching keys works normally and there is no cycling through the layouts. -- Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

I believe this bug falls in the papercut category and I have nominated as such. It satisfies all the requirements for a papercut: * A bug, or an unintended problem occurring within an existing piece of software, (Xorg) * the presence of which makes a computer more difficult or less pleasant to use, (international users cannot use the desired shortcuts) * that is easy to fix, (patch already available) * that the average user would encounter... (insternational users with multiple keyboard layouts) * in a default installation of Latest release of Ubuntu or Kubuntu, Desktop Edition.

[Bug 36812] Re: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts
First of all, thanks to all of you guys for your efforts and especially to Ilya fot the patch. I'm also affected and extremely annoyed by this bug. I've moved to Linux recently and first mentioned, that Ctrl+Shift+T doesn't work in Firefox, and then it turned out, that I can't use Eclipse properly since there are many vital Ctrl+Shift shortcuts there. And I'd like to be explicit here - IMO it's just a shame that such a STUPID bug is still not fixed after SIX years (it was reported back in 2004!). OK, I understand, it's free software and nobody gets paid for fixing bugs, but denying existing patch for some kind of puristic (not to say religious) reasons - it seems to me, well, strange. How can we claim that Ubuntu (in particular) is user-friendly and for people and at the same time preserve such annoying bugs? (another example I've ran into - mystical restriction to have max. of 4 KB layouts in XKB - but at least it's not so common. btw excuse is the same - the holy spec). I'm not sure how it aligns with existing procedures, but wouldn't it be possible to apply this patch during packaging Xorg for Ubuntu, so that Xorg packages from standard repos (and their future updates) include this fix? After all, this bug really affects a lot of people, since there are users outside US as well and almost all of them use layout switching. -- Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 36812] Re: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts
Oded, thanks, I saw patched packages in your ppa and it's great. But my question was, are there any ways to convince Ubuntu maintainers to include them in standard repos? (more precisely, to apply Ilya's patch to each new Xorg version and put this patched version in standard repo). I suppose, the reasons are clear: 1) new users get fixed version out-of- the-box 2) no need to reinstall package from ppa after each Xorg update (it's not just a question of 10.04/10.10, they also produce intermediate bug-fix releases of Xorg, aren't they?) But the whole thing seems to me a little hacky, that's why I ask about procedures, -- Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 36812] Re: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts
@Alexey: Regarding your point (2), if I do a well enough job and release an update to the PPA immediately after Ubuntu upstream releases an X update, then users will only have to install 1 update, or at worst they'd have 1 X update that requires them to logout and another X update a day later that again requires a log out. Regarding point (1) - Ubuntu's X11 distribution carries a lot of out of stream patches (in 10.04 I count more then 50 additional patches) that are either in process of being accepted upstream to x.org or intermediate fixed waiting for another fix from upstream or even patches that have no chance of being accepted upstream - and Ubuntu still caries them and make sure they are up to date until they have a better solution from X.org. To get Ilya's patch into Ubuntu proper, it requires simply the intervention of Ubuntu's X-SWAT team ( https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat ) and that most likely will not require a rewrite of XKB ;-) but I don't see any of these people list on this bug report, and I'm not sure what is the procedure for addressing the Ubuntu X team directly. -- Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/36812 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
