In the KDE Control Center's Global Shortcuts tab I doubled-clicked "Switch to Next Keyboard Layout", pressed Ctrl+Shift but it seems Ctrl+Shift alone is not accepted as a key binding(?!). Then, I tried Left Alt+Shift and it's accepted with Alt+ISO_Prev_Group written instead of Alt+Shift(?!). Now, it Alt+Shift works instead of Alt+Ctrl+K but the problem is with the icon of Kxkb (that stays in system tray as a flag with 2 or 3 letter abbreviation of layout name on top of it) doesn't change at all. The language changes but the flag doesn't change. 243806 1 coolo 2004-06-25 10:18:30 +0000 Please decide which is your bugzilla account - I will close the others. I won't accept you faking votes. 243906 2 munzirtaha 2004-06-25 19:21:10 +0000 No, no, Stephan. I am sorry, I thought this is legal. Don't close the other account since I have other bugs filed only with it and I promise not to vote with two accounts again. Another important issue is that I am the maintainer of http://wiki.arabeyes.org/OpenBugs on which I have gathered most of the bugs the Arabic community facing. I ask people to see if the bugs are applicable to them to vote. Is this legal? Sorry again. 244030 3 coolo 2004-06-26 09:34:38 +0000 OK, I accept that. 247541 4 arysin 2004-07-10 21:25:04 +0000 The main problem here is that KDE does not accept modifier keys as shortcuts. Ctrl+Shift is modifier here. And Alt+Shift is your case is probably defined as group changer - then it becomes real key. But that means that with Alt+Shiftut you change the group inside the layout but not the layout itself - so shortcut for kxkb is not working. If your layout includes us group this is legal but is handled by X - not kxkb so the flag will not change. As to the problem with assigning Alt+Shift (and other modifier keys) - it's an X specific and also lack of integration between X and KDE. As it's not kxkb problem - I'll mark it as duplicate of 84606 to be able to follow the general problem. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 84606 *** 247922 5 munzirtaha 2004-07-12 00:49:47 +0000 > Alt+Shift is your case is probably defined as > group changer - then it becomes real key Where are such valuable information documented? > Alt+Shiftut you change the group inside the layout but not the layout itself But my 'ar' layout contains one group with two levels xkb_symbols "basic" { name[Group1]= "Arabic"; key <AD01> { [ Arabic_dad, Arabic_fatha ] }; Also, can I vote for the other bug or does my voting transfer automatically? I don't want to annoy Stephan Kulow again ;)
