Bug ID: 1249335 Summary: Inconsistent rules for shortcuts between different applications when switching keymaps Product: Fedora Version: 22 Component: ibus Severity: medium Assignee: tfujiwar@redhat.com Reporter: nicolas.brack@mail.be QA Contact: extras-qa@fedoraproject.org CC: i18n-bugs@lists.fedoraproject.org, shawn.p.huang@gmail.com, tfujiwar@redhat.com
I have this bug since a few fedora version. In some applications, the shortcuts obeys the localized ibus keymap, but other keeps the default keymap when pressing CTRL. Typical example includes gimp (follows keymap) and inkscape (ignore keymap). I'm personally using both the us and dvorak keymap, and this behaviour is pernicious as the key locations are very dissimilar.
Using "setxkbmap" is hard erasure of the keymap, and after that _all_ applications follows the keymap when using the shortcuts. But then ibus doesn't really work anymore, and it's inconvenient.
Thus a solution could either be that: *ibus is resilient to "setxkbmap" *All software are presented with the same keymap, which can be configured to be the current map.
