Gnome, IDEA and ctrl+shift hotkey

Hi,

 

I'm wondering at a problem with gnome hotkeys event system.

 

The problem:

 

I have ctrl+shift hotkey as key to change language.

 

IDEA has a lot of usefull hotkeys, that starts with ctrl+shift, for example ctrl+shift+n.

 

If you try to press it - nothing happens. The reason is: gnome intercept event and stop bubbling.

 

Could any of you solve this problem, guys?

Re: Gnome, IDEA and ctrl+shift hotkey

There are a few general solutions:

 

1) Reconfigure the Gnome key mappings

2) Switch to KDE

3) Redefine the IDEA key mappings

 

 

I don't know if Gnome is configurable w.r.t. the interfering key mappings, but KDE is.

Pessimistic? Why? What were you hoping for? Magic?

Well, I don't think you're facing a bug that can be fixed. There's a fundamental conflict that is going to require something to give. If Gnome's key configurations are fixed, then you are donw to two options, redefine the IDEA bindings or switch to a cnfigurable desktop (KDE, e.g.).

You need to either change the Gnome key map or change the idea key map.

 

when I was using Gnome I just disabled most gnome keyboard shortcuts since I didn't use many of them.

Re: Gnome, IDEA and ctrl+shift hotkey

don't think this post make sense in idea forum

it is gnome problem, not idea

for example in many programs in gnome i can't use ctrl+shift+arrow to select words

 

for me the best solution was to use "capslock" as language switcher

on windows i also set it to capslock and now i feel ctrl+shift very very uncomfortable
