Public bug reported:
Current Situation
===================
(1)
Per default ibus preferences are hidden in Ubuntu
(I would say it's very difficult to reach ibus feature)
(2)
ibus has two default shortcuts, apparently for Emoji-something:
- Ctrl+shift+e
- Ctrl+shift+u
(2.1)
These shortcuts can prevent shortcuts from other applications being used (one
example: VSCode's "show files"
(2.2)
Because of (1) it's extremely difficult to change these shortcuts, if they
cause any problems - Especially because of (2.3).
(2.3)
The user has no way of knowing that ibus introduced these shortcuts (because
they would only use Settings->Region & Language, which does not show any
shortcut options)
(3)
I guess the Emoji shortcuts ( (2) ) have no benefit for a normal user. Reason
(guess): The normal user would not understand what to do after pressing the
shortcut)
Suggestion
============
Remove shortcuts as a default setting
Misc
====
- Why is this bug not filed in github.com/ibus/ibus/issues?
-> Because in ibus as standalone, where the user has a direction connection
to it, it might make sense to keep the shortcuts. For the moment I would say
this is a Ubuntu related issue, as ubuntu is hiding the dialog. (... why is the
dialog gui even installed, if we don't was to show it? ...)
