Hello all,
I was using google docs when I tried to use the center text shortcut that had served me well on every other platform, but on gnome (F28) the shortcut would not work. I found out that it was some shortcut to type in an emoji. This is completely useless to me, and I would like to disable it. I found a forum post that suggested going into IBus Preferences ibus-setup and disable the shortcut there under the emoji tab. Screenshot:
Open dconf editor and navigate to org.freedesktop.ibus.panel.emoji. Then change the hotkey field to []
This is the GNOME equivalent of āJUST USE LINUX!ā. You are not helping anyone and only make the forum more toxic than necessary. If you donāt like GNOME donāt use it and ignore the related threads.
Itās just my experience that mutter plugins tend to be pretty inflexible black boxes for input stuff like this, especially on wayland.
For example, you have to modprobe out your touch device driver entirely if your calibration drifts off even a little on laptops with touchscreens on wayland systems.
GNOME is far from perfect. But here is a person who is using GNOME and wants a problem solved. Telling people to just use something different because you donāt like it is childish and doesnāt solve problems. Every other DE has their own set of problems.
Here is a possible solution (it is not a perfect solution, i think the issue is a bug, this is a workaround)
Open settings > Region & Language
Add a new input source > select the three dots
Search for booster, you will have the option of other select this.
Select Other (Typing Booster)
This will have a gear icon, you can edit the settings to your wishes (typing booster has perdition etc. you might not want this or want to change how it works).
On the top right select the āenā icon and select Other (Typing Booster)
Your short cut will now work as expected.
Typing booster is pretty cool, you might like it, but if you donāt you can turn a lot of the features off. If you set Enable suggestions by Tab key you will not get automatic suggestions.
Can someone tell me how that shortcut works? I know ctrl+shift+u for unicode and ctrl+. for the emoji chooser. Do i need to know the exact emoji name for this shortcut?
Sorry for offtopic. But i guess it helps to know that you can input emojis via ctrl+. if you disabled ctrl+shift+e.
I realize this topic is hella old but Iād just like to point out this issue still exists (Ubuntu 19.04, 3.32.1). In case anyone knows, is there an update to some software package that fixes this yet?
