thanks

Hi Ambrose,

I really appreciate your feedback to the Debian SCIM packages.  As the
two main SCIM developers and myself are all simplified Chinese users,
the feedback from traditional Chinese users is very important, please
keep them coming. :-)

I must confess I didn't do a good job by forwarding your report to
upstream, however apparently you are not the only one annoyed by this
issue, and the new scim-tables releases already have such an option to
disable the shift hotkey.

I just tested scim-tables 0.5.5-1 in unstable, and in scim-setup
program, in IMEngines -> Generic Table -> Keyboard tab, you can change
this hotkey in the "Mode Switch" entry.  Would you please test it and
see if it is what you need?
