Enviroment:After I upgrade my iBus to v1.3.7，the hotkey "Ctrl+Shift+C"(Copy) and "Ctrl+Shift+C"(Paste) in Konsole was broken. For example, I selected something in Konsole and pressed "Ctrl+Shift+C", and then switched the input focus to Chromium search bar and pressed "Ctrl+V", NOTHING pasted!
Solution:gentoo-sources: 2.6.32-gentoo-r10 x86_64
kdebase-meta: 4.4.4
qt-core: 4.6.3
ibus: 1.3.7
After trying few old version of ibus, I found the v1.3.4 works. I guess there might be something wrong with the "key-snooper" function, because ibus releases that came without "key-snooper" function enabled could work in my Gentoo box; however, I didn't spend much time on debugging this.
The following are just steps for a temporarily workaround:
- Download ibus-1.3.4.tar.gz from Google iBus Project.
- $ sudo cp ibus-1.3.4.tar.gz /usr/portage/distfiles
- $ cd /usr/portage/app-i18n/ibus/
- $ sudo cp ibus-1.3.7.ebuild ibus-1.3.4.ebuild
- $ sudo ebuild ibus-1.3.4.ebuild digest
- $ sudo ebuild ibus-1.3.4.ebuild merge
By using ebuild to install packages, we can still benefit from portage management (unmerge, gentoolkit…etc).
P.S.:
In the past, I usually put xx-input under /etc/X11/xinitrc/xinitrc.d/, but now I moved those variables settings to ~/.xprofile as suggestion during ibus installation.
export XMODIFIERS="@im=ibus"
export GTK_IM_MODULE="ibus"
export QT_IM_MODULE="xim"
ibus-daemon -d -x
