Keyboard / Input Method / Switch engines setting should default to Disabled? #439

Closed volfpeter closed 8 months ago

volfpeter commented 1 year ago

What Happened?

I've been debugging for a couple of hours why I couldn't trigger auto-complete suggestions in VSCode (hotkey is CTRL+Space). I didn't think the reason could be the OS, but apparently OS7 uses this key combination for Input Method / Switch engines. I really don't know what switch engines is about, it could be important, but maybe a different default or at least a Disabled option would be a good idea.

I did not have this issue on either elementary 0.4, 5., or 6..

I understand if you wouldn't like to fix this. In that case, feel free to just close the issue.

Thanks!

I run into the exact same problem and spent quite a long while debugging it. (I thought it was a bad VS Code extension at first.) When there are no engines, it doesn't really make sense to catch the keyboard shortcut. The walkaround I used was:

gsettings set org.freedesktop.ibus.general.hotkey triggers "[]"

The relevant lines in the source code are src/Views/InputMethod.vala L255 and L293.
