severity 699368 wishlist tags 699368 + wontfix tags 699368 - l10n thanks Hi,
Asian input method IME/FEP start/toggle keys in use are: shift-space: older Japanese UNIX-like OS and some Windows pre-MS-IME tools control-space: older Chinese UNIX-like OS control-enter: I see web document mentioning Solaris used to do this. And all these shift/ctrol/alt/-space/enter/... combination were used by text input method. This is highly desirable keys which OS-level utility like to take control.

Yes. So what is wrong here. You filed this not as wishlist but normal bug. I fail to understand rationale behind your reasoning eclipse should own this key binding. I found: http://superuser.com/questions/327479/ctrl-space-always-toggles-chinese-ime-windows-7 http://lists.tlug.jp/ML/9810/msg00259.html So this key combination is liked by many apps and tends to conflict with popular cross-platform input method change method convention. UNIX-like input method for Japanese used shift-space in old days with xim+kinput2 etc. (At least from 1998) > The Ctrl-Space key is a very common key binding and used historycally ^^^^^^^^^^^^ > by eclipse code assistant and other IDEs.

(Japanese seems to use shift-space.) ibus: 2008-05-12 and since then uses ctrl-space scim: 2003 and since (precursor to ibus and uses ctrl-space) I am sure some chinese IM used this before 2000. eclipse: 2002 not so old. This is 2013. No one except you complained this for 5 years. Also as I see web for Mac: Command+Space seems to be choice to switch IM for MAC OSX. (MAC-command==WIN-control) http://apple.stackexchange.com/questions/15173/changing-keyboard-input-language-on-mac-osx So this is not situation where very common cross platform OS level convention for basic UI needs to be changed just for an application. > Solved running ibus-setup and deleting the key-binding. Or changing eclipse key-binding, you get the same coexistence. This is not normal BUG for ibus for sure. This is at best wishlist bug with wontfix attached. > Tags: l10n Usually, this tag is used for PO translation etc. This is not needed.
