Title:
Keyboard shortcuts don't "stick" with multiple keymappings
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
============= Summary ==============
The Keyboard Shortcuts app changes its interpretation of my shortcuts
after a reboot. I must change a shortcut from A to B and back to A
again in order to make it behave properly once again -- until the next
reboot.
========== The Setup =============
Using Wubi Intrepid Ibex on a Windows XP newish Lenovo Thinkpad. I
installed Ibex using Qwerty, because Wubi doesn't offer an
alternative; then I added US Dvorak layout and set it to default in
Gnome. My physical keyboard is a Qwerty.
I want two keyboard shortcuts:
- Ctrl-Shift-F in dvorak (the physical Y key) to open Firefox
- Ctrl-Shift-S in dvorak (the physical : key) to open Gnome Terminal
I have found that I have to use the physical mapping in the Keyboard
Shortcut application for this to work: Ctrl-Shift-Y and Ctrl-Shift-: .
I set those, close the Keyboard Shortcut application, and hit the
physical Y key (F in dvorak) to open Firefox, and hit the physical :
key (S in dvorak) to open Gnome Terminal, and I'm happy enough.
========== The Problem ============
When I reboot my computer, one of the two keyboard shortcuts has
moved. The Keyboard Shortcuts app still lists Ctrl-Shift-Y and Ctrl-
Shift-: , and pressing the physical Y key still opens Firefox.
However, I must press Ctrl-Shift-"physical Z key", which is Dvorak
":", in order to open Gnome Terminal. It's like the Keyboard
Shortcuts app understands that Ctrl-Shift-: should now be interpreted
as Dvorak, while Ctrl-Shift-Y should be interpreted as Qwerty.
If I go into Keyboard Shortcuts and reassign Gnome Terminal to a new
hotkey (say Ctrl-Shift-U), close it, reopen it, and reassign Gnome
Terminal to Ctrl-Shift-: again, and close it, then I am again able to
hit the physical : key (S in dvorak) to open Gnome Terminal.
