GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 693395
can't input common Korean toggle key combination for input source switch shortcut
Last modified: 2013-04-22 04:27:29 UTC
Input source switch uses Hangul key or shift + space key in Korea. Then, only ctrl+space key can be used in gnome 3.6 and gnome 3.7.5 When selecting aonther keys in Keyboard - Typing - Switch to next source or Switch to previous source "The shortcut "Shift+Space" cannot be used because it will become impossible to type using this key. Please try with a key such as Control, Alt or Shift at the same time." "The shortcut "Hangul" cannot be used because it will become impossible to type using this key. Please try with a key such as Control, Alt or Shift at the same time." --- gnome-settings-daemon-3.7.5-1.fc19.x86_64 control-center-3.7.5-1.fc19.x86_64 gnome-shell-3.7.5-2.fc19.x86_64
Hi sangu, what is the bug that you describe here?
I cannot change input source switch shortcuts ( like a hangul key or shift + space key) in gnome-control-center keyboard.
That's intentional for Shift+Space and the Hangul, as the error message says that you posted. Is the shown error message unclear, or why did you post a bug report here?
Hello, I'm co-translator of the GNOME Korea localization team. before we discuss about this issue we need to explain about "how many Korean uses shift+space key combination" and "how much they need to use this feature". we've discussed similar problem in below thread https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=682319 many Korean is using native word processor "Hangul 20xx" for Windows made by Hancom company from about 25 years ago. and they're very familiar to use shift+space key combination, because this is just TRADITIONAL feature in that program. so, as they said, we(Korean) usually use a key combination shift + space to change input mode, and sangu also said his opinion similar to above link. most of all users are use the generic 101 key layout, rather than some specific keyboard layout such as like "HHKB Pro 2". so we are not comfortable to use ctrl+space more than shift+space. of course, we also use right Alt key as "Korean/English" which can be alternated from shift + space. "right-Alt-use" issue also discussed above thread. therefore, I'm STRONGLY tell you about this issue :) please consider our opinion and suggestion to add some feature for adding key combination in another way.
Ok, thanks for the report. I'll find a way to fix this for 3.8 .

committed on master commit 4888729aaea6934582ff3aee60dd3ee3d7a0e72a Author: Changwoo Ryu <cwryu@debian.org> Date: Wed Apr 3 15:00:02 2013 +0900 keyboard: Allow input of Hangul and Modifier+space shortcuts These keyboard switching key combinations had been rejected because using them as shortcuts might prevent users from inputting text. But now the input source switching keys are configured and processed in GNOME. So the shortcut settings should allow these key combinations. https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=693395
