I think I may have a similar issue: > setxkbmap -query > > rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: fr,us,gb variant: ,altgr-intl, options: compose:caps
but gnome input selector only has fr and en Eng intl with alt dead keys en when using the en input in gnome, some applications see keyboard shortcuts in azerty (vscode, intellij) while others receive them as qwerty (chrome, firefox) using sudo setxkbmap -option compose:caps -variant ,altgr-intl fr,us I was able to fix the issue. I had only ever touched the settings through gnome interface so it seems there is a way to corrupt xkbmap settings by clicking in the gnome settings. thanks dmitrii for your very helpful comment, thanks to that I was able to fix my setup ! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Studio Bugs, which is subscribed to inkscape in Ubuntu. Matching subscriptions: Ubuntu Studio Bugs https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1738859 Title: hotkeys do not work when xkbmap uses a regional layout instead of en_US, gnome input source is ignored Status in Inkscape: New Status in inkscape package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Symptom: hotkeys do not work at all. It seems to only affect letters themselves while Ctrl, Shift or Alt are interpreted (as shown in a bar at the bottom of the UI). ➜ ~ echo $XDG_SESSION_DESKTOP ubuntu-xorg I do have two keyboard layouts enabled, however, I used en_US in Gnome while trying to trigger any hotkey actions. # the first one is the one used currently as this is an MRU list ➜ ~ gsettings get org.gnome.desktop.input-sources mru-sources [('xkb', 'us'), ('xkb', 'ru')] The default Inkscape hotkey file is used, so, for example, undo should work just fine but it doesn't: /usr/share/inkscape/keys/default.xml ... <bind key="z" modifiers="Ctrl" action="EditUndo" display="true" /> <bind key="Z" modifiers="Ctrl" action="EditUndo" /> I sniffed around little bit and found out that XKB layout was set to 'ru': ➜ ~ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: ru,us,us variant: ,, options: grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll After changing that to 'us' via setxkbmap shortcuts immediately started to work (without inkscape restart): ➜ ~ sudo setxkbmap -option grp:alt_shift_toggle us ➜ ~ setxkbmap -query rules: evdev model: pc105 layout: us options: grp:alt_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll Doing this via CLI, however, somehow breaks switching language in gnome itself (changes are present in the MRU list but input is localized and is not switched).
