Atom takes over global unicode insertion by using CTRL+SHIFT+U #5

Closed envygeeks closed 10 years ago

envygeeks commented 10 years ago

Forwarding my ticket from: https://github.com/atom/atom/issues/4093

On Linux (Ubuntu, Debian, GNOME, Unity... Maybe Fedora too because it uses GNOME)
Ctrl+Shift+U is a global keyboard command that activates Unicode insertion (even in Atom
Editor.) By taking over a  global keyboard command you have removed my ability to insert
Unicode. Please, can the keyboard  command be changed? I've already remapped mine
out since I don't need it but...

Sorry about this, had no idea about this feature on Linux.

envygeeks commented 10 years ago

It's hard to keep up with keyboard commands at all kinds of platforms so no need to be sorry. Things happen! I must thank you though for always handling tickets quickly!

kevinsawicki commented 10 years ago

So would ctrl-u without shift be an okay keybinding you think?

envygeeks commented 10 years ago

Indeed it would be because that's a reserved application command on Linux so I would certainly not mind if you used it, though it might throw off some other people (re: is Atom a text editor or a IDE) because normally Ctrl+u is for kicking on underlining but tbh I wouldn't mind either way, I like Ctrl+U because on Linux it puts the two really close together!

The fix by @lee-dohm will be included in 0.144 which is about to be released.
