--- Comment #3 from cwo <cwo....@posteo.net> --- Glad to know it works now! The input method shortcut should probably also be listed in the shortcuts configuration page somehow. This would fit nicely into the new KDE community goal about improving user input. Feel free to file a new bug report about this (ideally in the same location as this, systemsettings / kcm_keys. (In reply to antilogic963 from comment #2) > Though I am still a but confused about the > difference between "Input Method" and "Keyboard Layout". A simple way to think about it is this: Keyboard layouts are very simple things. You press a key, a character appears on screen. Maybe sometimes there's a composed key where you press two keys in sequence and get an â or ó. But you couldn't type something like Japanese or Chinese, with ~2000 (or substantially more) characters; hardly anyone could remember the key combinations for that. You'd want something where you can type the pronunciation or some other easy to understand short form, and the computer intelligently offers you the different characters that correspond to that sequence (and there may be many of those). That would be an input method. Input methods usually also do regular keyboard layouts, as someone might want to switch between keyboard layouts and still be able to type Japanese. But because they are designed for more complex situations, if you don't type in a language that requires an input method, it's typically simpler to just use the layouts without an input method. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
