On Xenial the patch serves its intended purpose. I built IBus for Xenial with ubuntu-disable-trigger.patch disabled and then installed. That made the UI component show up for setting shortcut for "Next input method". It defaults to <Super>Space, but changing it to e.g. <Alt>Space affects this dconf value:
$ gsettings get org.freedesktop.ibus.general.hotkey triggers ['<Alt>space'] But on Unity that shortcut is not effective. It's overridden by the shortcut set in Text Entry: $ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.wm.keybindings switch-input-source ['<Super>space'] So it's indeed a dead-end for users who happen to play with ibus-setup. OTOH, that UI component is shown on GNOME too, and it's just as much a dead-end there. If we think the issue is important enough, we should figure out a smarter way to hide that UI component IMO. Also on GNOME. And preferably upstream. Let's drop the patch. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to ibus in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870945 Title: ubuntu-disable-trigger.patch is effectively not enabled Status in Unity: New Status in ibus package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: ubuntu-disable-trigger.patch has effectively not been enabled since XDG_CURRENT_DESKTOP was turned into a list of values instead of a single value.
