[Bug 1059438] Keyboard: Annoying long-time bug: Foreign characters or incorrect operations after selecting text.
http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1059438 http://bugzilla.suse.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1059438#c4 --- Comment #4 from Tim Real <termtech@rogers.com> --- It is both control keys that are hijacked, which makes all manner of trouble for operations involving the control keys. For example Ctrl + left arrow and Ctrl + right arrow are universally known as text selection operations, pretty much since PC day one. It is just... expected behaviour, but it's broken because of this compose mapping. IMO this current mapping is totally wrong. I have Windows keys on my keyboard, but they don't compose. Nor would I want them to. Nor would I want /any/ compose functions by default, especially those which steal critical keys used for every-day universally accepted standard operations. IMO it is pretty much guaranteed that a new user would be put off by this behaviour. Look how long it took /me/ to deal with it, and I'm a coder... Thanks. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
