Ctrl + Number shortcuts not working when using alternative keyboard layout

sophiiss opened this issue · 11 comments

I've noticed that when any keyboard layout that isn't the first one on the list is selected, the Ctrl + Number shortcuts on the launcher just don't work.
I don't know what else I can say, that's basically the whole problem.

I was also seeing the same thing when switching between QWERTY and Dvorak. Ctrl + number works on QWERTY, but switching to Dvorak makes it stop working. That was with my layouts ordered as follows:
2022-06-01_08-35_1

However, if I reorder my layouts so that Dvorak is the first, Ctrl + number begins working on Dvorak:
2022-06-01_08-35

So the specific layout must not be the problem, and the bug is that the shortcuts don't work on the non-primary layout.

I have the exact same problem using German (de-DE) and English(US) as layouts. The keybindings work only on the primary layout, just as @leviport stated

Are there any updates on this? I didn't make any new findings.

I am having the same issue however it appears on the qwerty english us layout as well even if thats my only one

Same for me... One question: the project is dead or not? Because I see old important issues still unresolved.

Pick any widely used open source project and you'll find issues still unresolved. This project is still being maintained.

I see very wide projects (as ICU or mesa), when there is an issue, after one week they fix.

There are plenty of bugs that we've fixed much more quickly than a week. Now please, keep discussion focused to the original bug so I don't have to clean up unrelated idle discourse.

I had the exact problem mentioned on this Issue. The fix was not switch back to the Xorg session. It was a Wayland problem.

I was on Xorg and had the issue :(

Could this PR be related (and possibly fix) the shortcuts not working? I used a slightly different (and possibly better supported) way of identifying keypresses in the search dialog/launcher and I'm curious if it helps.
