Some shortcuts won't work #2

Closed simaks closed 5 months ago

simaks commented 8 months ago

In some applications like web browser there are short cuts like:

zoom in: cmd + "+" (doesn't work with Lithuanian - Numeric)
zoom out: cmd + "-" (works)
zoom reset: cmd + 0 (doesn't work with Lithuanian - Numeric)

Two of these doesn't work. Some other input sources

On mac Lithuanian input source zooming in is done using shift

Found workaround, not perfect, but works

Hi, thank you for the bug report! I have an idea how this could be fixed, now I just have to get to testing it out.

oleg-vinted commented 7 months ago

I've been using a modified version of the numeric layout that solves this problem - the idea is to fall back to standard QWERTY layout whenever a modifier key is pressed, as I don't think there's any software that actually uses Cmd+Ž as a hotkey. Never took the time to contribute back though :/

Here's my modified version: Lithuanian Numeric Keyboard.bundle.zip - extract to /Library/Keyboard Layouts.

Yep, the US QWERTY fallback for when Cmd is pressed is exactly what I have in mind.

oleg-vinted commented 7 months ago

By the way, falling back to QWERTY might also make sense for the Standard Lithuanian layout for a similar reason. Shortcuts are usually optimized for the US layout - Cmd+ą is not as useful as Cmd+q. 😄

Authors of the layout would strongly disagree with you here. :grin: That's one of the reasons why they provide Windows layouts of their own.

Some combinations like switching browser tab using cmd+1 or cmd+2 is working even with ą and č without fallback.

@oleg-vinted, would you mind provinding a PR with your changes?
