Bug ID: 497554
Summary: Mouse - Configure extra buttons - is keyboard-layout
specific
Classification: Applications
Product: systemsettings
Version: master
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_mouse
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: izzyl...@gmail.com
CC: duha.b...@gmail.com, natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: ---
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make sure your system uses two input languages with different alphabets
(i.e. you switch input languages betweeen English US and
Cyrillic/Arabic/whatever.)
2. In Settings - Mouse - Configure extra buttons -> Add Binding: add binding of
side mouse button to Ctrl-V and the other one to Space
3. Alternatively, add the following section to .config/kcminputrc and reboot:
ExtraButton2=Key,Space
ExtraButton2=Key,Ctrl+V
Essentially, we mapped paste shortcut to one of the mouse side buttons, and
spacebar to the other side button.
OBSERVED RESULT
Clicking of the side button invokes paste only if English is active input
language. When the other input language is selected, the mouse side button
acts normal (i.e. back or forth)
The spacebar binding though works regardless of the selected input language.
EXPECTED RESULT
The results should be consistent. I.t. either all button work regardless of the
input language or they don't.
Personally I think they should send commands as programmed, disregarding the
active input language.
To my knowledge, there's now way to use a scancode instead of actual letter C,
which could remediate the issue.
That's the way other programs work, i.e. Ctrl-c/v work as intended regardless
of the active input language.
Unfortunately, Non-English languages exist and the users are forced to switch
between input languages, so the developers should probably test them.
