New note keybind interferes with ibus emoji IME on Linux #88

Open abstractsun opened 3 months ago

abstractsun commented 3 months ago

Tangent v0.7.6 Ubuntu 22.04.4 LTS

I have ibus installed, which is from the Ubuntu repositories (ibus, ibus-table-emoji)

When I try to input emoji using the ibus emoji IME, I am able to do so. However, if I attempt to navigate through the emoji list using Ctrl+N, the emoji picker is suddenly closed with whatever emoji was last selected inputted, and Tangent opens a new note document.

Expected behavior: Tangent should not intercept keystrokes while the emoji picker is open.

That's interesting… Do you have similar issues with other electron-based applications? In theory, Electron shouldn't be receiving that Ctrl+N keystroke if ibus is consuming it.

Depends on the app, apparently:

Native apps: never
Signal (Flatpak): most of the time
Electron app I self-compiled in 2020 (AppImage): never
Obsidian (Flatpak): never

This may be as simple as ignoring all keystrokes while an IME is open. I'll put it on the docket.
