I am running 17.10 with MATE, and this bug is still happening, I report it was working in 16.04 with Mate and after upgrading I have a working layout switcher between 2 languages but all Shift+Alt derived shortcuts specially the ones in IDEA are not working anymore
==== User rant ==== Well I will add my complain, This is one of those "I fell like switching back to windows" kind of bug, the kind that make you stop before recommending ubuntu to your friends and family, the one when people point it out to you, you simply lower your head and nod. This is super old and terrible for any shortcut user in a multi language setup, which are most of developers I know of. In 17.10 not even the Xorg recompile is working anymore, for some magical reason in 16.04 this was fixed maybe by Dell(I have a dell ubuntu machine) or someone else, as soon as I updated to 17.10 it appeared again. It's really infuriating to start my IDE everyday with this on. In my case, layout switcher for keyboards is working ( probably because of some of config from 16.04) but all Shift+Alt derived shortcuts specially the ones in IDEA are not. So no more fancy multi caret edit for me, or fast renaming, or line switching I am basically missing some of the the good stuff IDEA provides and was payed for because of a 10 year old bug. That disaster that was Unity was build and killed during the time bug has been around. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1245473 Title: Binding ctrl+shift, alt+shift, etc for switching keyboard layout makes shortcuts with ctrl+shift, etc not working in any program Status in GNOME Settings Daemon: Fix Released Status in GNOME Shell: Won't Fix Status in Unity: Confirmed Status in X.Org X server: Confirmed Status in firefox package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-shell package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in gnome-terminal package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Triaged Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in ALT Linux: Unknown Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Debian: New Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in Fedora: In Progress Status in gnome-settings-daemon package in openSUSE: Confirmed Bug description: Tried only with ctrl+shift, maybe behaves the same for other modifier key combinations when used as shortcut for switching layouts. - Set ctrl+shift as shortcut for switching keyboard layouts - Try to use ctrl+shift+v, ctrl+shift+c in Terminal -- it doesn't work (actually Terminal window loses focus when ctrl+shift is pressed, and layout is switched) ---------- For other layout switching problems introduced in Ubuntu 13.10 you can see bug 1218322. ---------- ProblemType: Bug DistroRelease: Ubuntu 13.10 Package: gnome-settings-daemon 3.8.5-0ubuntu11.1 ProcVersionSignature: Ubuntu 3.11.0-13.20-generic 3.11.6 Uname: Linux 3.11.0-13-generic x86_64 ApportVersion: 2.12.5-0ubuntu2.1 Architecture: amd64 Date: Mon Oct 28 16:40:02 2013 InstallationDate: Installed on 2013-10-23 (5 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 13.10 "Saucy Salamander" - Release amd64 (20131016.1) MarkForUpload: True SourcePackage: gnome-settings-daemon UpgradeStatus: No upgrade log present (probably fresh install) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gnome-settings-daemon/+bug/1245473/+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
