Bug ID: 486869
Summary: Do not invoke two-modifiers keyboard shortcuts (like
Alt+Shift) when used as part of other key combinations
Classification: Plasma
Product: kwin
Version: git-stable-Plasma/5.27
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: input
Assignee: kwin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: zkdebu...@1zk.net
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If you have a keyboard shortcut like Alt+Shift for switching keyboard layout
(which is also the Windows OS shortcut for 30+ years), the shortcut is also
triggered when pressing Alt+Shift+N (KNote new Note), Alt+Shift+F2 (Krunner
open with clipboard) or Alt+Shift+Up (used for move line up in some programs)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In Settings->Keyboard->Layout dd a keyboard layout (unless you already have
one)
2. In Settings->Keyboard->Layout click "Main Shortcuts" and select Alt+Space,
apply
3. Press Alt+Shift+F2 to launch KRunner with clipboard contents
OBSERVED RESULT
The keyboard layout is changed, then KLauncher starts
EXPECTED RESULT
KLauncher should start without changing keyboard layout
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows:
macOS:
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian 12+KDE
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 (and all other versions I used since 5.0)
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
In Windows, where Alt+Shift is the default keyboard layout, the layout switch
does not happen when both keys are pressed, but rather afther both are pressed
and Alt or Shift are **released**. This has to be intruduced to KDE as an
option in order to prevent unwanted keyboard layout switching.
