I'm used to Alt+Shift key binding to change keyboard layout. And I work in Netbeans IDE it has a a neat combo (Alt+Shift+F) for source formatting. I've noticed that when I press that combo it fires the Alt+F combo thus opening the "File" context menu (which is weird) and fires up the Alt+Shift which changes the keyboard layout. I assume this problem is caused as soon as the keys are pressed (but not released). I think that key combo should be fired only at the moment as soon as one of the keys (n the combo) are released. So when I press Alt+Shift and do not release the keys, the service waits for possible third key. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Set the switch layout to Alt+Shit 2. Try any Alt+Shift+<any key> combo like Alt+Shift+Tab Actual Results: Switched between windows Changed the keyboard layout Expected Results: Switched between windows
Afaik, the keyboard layout switch operates aside, ie. is not controlled by the kglobalaccel system (which however does operate on keypresses - the problem though is, that the kdb switch acts on pure modifier state changes) No idea who to blame because of the kbd switch, I don't even know where that's implemented.
