That patch that fixes the problem has been applied in Ubuntu for way more than 'couple of years'
Unfortunately using right keys for modifiers doesn't work well with people who use 10 finger typing - they are used to press certain keys with certain fingers - to speed up their typing, and using wrong hand slows things down and leads to errors. Some modifier-heavy apps - like Emacs become very inconvenient if used with wrong modifier keys. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1683383 Title: Keyboard layout change on hotkeys press instead of release and do not work well with shortcuts (reopen) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/1683383/+subscriptions _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
