|    Bug#1100579: switching the keyboard layo    |
|    22 Feb 26 02:20:01    |
      From: AlMa1@ro.ru              Switching the keyboard layout is too slow for me, too. I use the key       combination LeftWin+Space to switch between 4 layouts. During switching, other       keystrokes get eaten up. For example, when I switch (from another encoding) to       German and immediately        start pressing (and releasing) the keys in the top letter row of the keyboard       from left to right, skipping the leftmost Tab key, I get              tzuiopü+              The top letter keys in German are “qwertzuiopü+”. So 4 keys, “qwer”,       have been eaten away. In testing some real words that I'm used to typing       quickly, I get “wing” when typing “following” (5 letters have been       eaten) and nothing when        typing “usually” (the whole word of 7 letters has been eaten). This issue       results in reduced productivity, especially when working in a terminal (xterm,       gnome-terminal, …) with file names in a non-Latin encoding, as you have to       switch between a        Latin layout (for shell commands and their non-filename options) and the       alternative non-Latin layout (for file names), sometimes many times a minute.              Please fix this.              I don't care about whether a switching OSD screen pops up, but I do care about       seeing the current-layout indicator (for me, in the status area on the right       in the top bar).              Versions:       linux-image-6.12.73+deb13-amd64 6.12.73-1       gnome-shell 48.7-0+deb13u1       gnome 1:48+2       xorg 1:7.7+24+deb13u1       xserver-xorg-core 2:21.1.16-1.3+deb13u1       server-xorg-video-nouveau 1:1.0.18-1       libdrm-nouveau2 2.4.124-2       gdm3 48.0-2       gir1.2-mutter-16 48.7-0+deb13u1       libmutter-16-0 48.7-0+deb13u1       mutter-common 48.7-0+deb13u1       mutter-common-bin 48.7-0+deb13u1       mutter is not installed       libxkbcommon0 1.7.0-2       x11-xkb-utils 7.7+9              Gratefully!       Alma              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
