GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 564633
Accelerator keys do not remap after changing layout
Last modified: 2009-01-10 17:29:26 UTC
Please describe the problem: Go into Keyboard Preferences and start with the USA Layout Add a new layout "USA Classic Dvorak" Set Shift-CapsLock as the way to switch layouts Steps to reproduce: 1. open gedit 2. Press CTRL-F (this should open the find dialog), press the F key it should show an f in the dialog 3. Close the dialog 4. Press Shift-CapsLock to switch into Dvorak mode 5. Press CTRL-F (using the US layout), the find dialog will open, but it should not because when you press the 'F' you get 'u'. Actual results: See above Expected results: When in Dvorak layout pressing CTRL-F on a US non-Dvorak keyboard should issue the CTRL-U shortcut since on the Dvorak keyboard U is where the F key is on the keyboard. Since CTRL-U is not mapped to anything as a shortcut the dialog should not open Does this happen every time? Yes, and it happens in many other GTK applications as well Other information: This problem may be at the GTK/GDK level since appears in many applications. The shortcuts are not going thru the keyboard layout code.
