Description Carl-Erwin Griffith 2015-07-31 08:51:01 UTC
I'm using a french keyboard layout but at startup kglobalaccel5 loads the "us" one.
examples:
   Z <-> W  are inverted
   M <-> ,   are inverted 

When the previous instance is killed and reloaded from a terminal ($ /usr/bin/kglobalaccel5) ,
the correct layout is loaded.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1.setup french keyboard layout
2.define some shortcuts  (ex: WinKey+w -> web browser)
3.restart the session
4.WinKey+z works instead of WinKey+w

Actual Results:  
WinKey+z works instead of WinKey+w

Expected Results:  
WinKey+w to launch the browser (chromium in my case)

I can confirm this for the neo2 layout. I configured Meta+E for KDevelop and Meta+F for Firefox, but when I press Meta+E, Firefox is launched. Note that neo2(E) = qwerty(F).

The proposed workaround works, too, which I am very grateful for :-)

kglobalaccel has (maybe broken, see bug #269403) code to update on keyboard map changes, but doesn't get the event because of https://bugreports.qt.io/browse/QTBUG-30911)

experimental workaround, feel free to try https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/125786/

Re-opening since apparently there's something we can do about this. There's a patch: https://phabricator.kde.org/D16434

Fix keyboard layout change notifications

Summary:
This rework fixes several issues:
- Qt wasn't informed about XCB_MAPPING_NOTIFY anymore
- With XKB enabled in Qt, X won't send XCB_MAPPING_NOTIFY anymore.
  So listen for XKB events as well.
- Install the event filter before fetching the keysym mapping to
  close a race window
- Use the old mapping for ungrabbing
Related: bug 269403

Test Plan:
Ctrl-Alt-Y global shortcut works even when doing
"setxkbmap us; kglobalaccel5 & sleep 1; setxkbmap de;" while it did not
before. On some systems, this race happened on every login, now it works
reliably.
