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? ...)
