Description kaltovichartyom 2016-06-08 11:55:47 UTC
Actual behaviour:
If you exec "setxkbmap ru", ctrl+c,v and others combinations will not work, but they will be working if exec "setxkbmap ru,de"

Expected behaviour:
exec "setxkbmap ru"
ctrl+c,v and others combinations work

Steps to reproduce:
exec "setxkbmap ru"
type some text
trying use ctrl+c,v and others combinations

This is an issue not with xkeyboard-config but with particular apps/toolkits/desktops
Comment 2 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2016-06-08 12:25:24 UTC
... Saying that - how do you expect the code to know where Latin C or V is? If there is no single group in configuration containing these symbols? setxkbmap ru leaves you with cyrillic symbols only!
Comment 3 kaltovichartyom 2016-06-08 17:19:13 UTC
Yeap, but I thought it should use key codes, not actual symbol, and others layouts should not have influence.
Comment 4 kaltovichartyom 2016-06-08 17:22:54 UTC
And what if I don't need other layout but Russian? Now shortcuts will not work at all. That is kind of non user-friendly :)
Comment 5 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2016-09-15 21:27:47 UTC
xk-c has nothing to do with that. It is the code that processes shortcuts - it should check all configured xkb groups.
