Key::normalize() dropped the shift state unconditionally for any non a-z/A-Z sym with a Unicode value, while a-z/A-Z only drops it when shift is the only modifier. Control+Shift+<cyrillic letter> was therefore normalized to Control+<cyrillic letter>, making every Control(+Alt)+Shift+<letter> hotkey impossible to trigger with a non-latin layout, Ctrl+Shift+U being the most visible case. This exact case-vs-modifier logic is unchanged since Key::normalize() was first written in 2015; none of the seven later commits that touched this function (Hyper/Super2 support, a 2024 Shift+Tab fix, etc.) revisited the a-z/A-Z assumption in the middle of it. Generalize the a-z/A-Z case handling to a table of Unicode case pairs instead of the ASCII range, and use it for both the shift-drop and the Control+a -> Control+A canonicalization. Georgian and Cherokee are excluded: on their xkeyboard-config layouts, shift selects an unrelated letter rather than the other case of the same one, so they keep going through the existing digit/punctuation path instead. The Cherokee exclusion covers the whole original block (U+13A0-U+13FF), not just the newer lowercase block, since Unicode also added six lowercase syllables directly inside the original range. Greek final sigma is added as an explicit pair even though it fails the round-trip check the rest of the table relies on, because Shift on that key does produce capital Sigma on a real layout, same as on medial sigma; Unicode just doesn't map Sigma back to final sigma. test/testkey.cpp gets Control+Shift+Cyrillic_GHE, Control+Alt+Shift+ Cyrillic_GHE, Control+Shift+Greek_ALPHA, a key code based variant, Control+Cyrillic_ghe canonicalizing to Control+Cyrillic_GHE, Georgian and Cherokee (both blocks) still dropping Shift under Control, Greek final sigma keeping Shift under Control, and Control+u as the latin contrast. ctest --test-dir build: 50/50.

I think normalize or not, shouldn't really affect whether you can assign such hot key or not. If you're using configtool, then the recorded key should also be normalized. So as long as code is consistent in the end, it should be fine. Are you writing config with hand? Or you found that configtool doesn't record a key that is working? The key of this normalize is like this: If there's no normalize, the caps lock would affect this (Ctrl+a Ctrl+Shift+a Ctrl+Shift+A, Ctrl+A). The caps lock behavior really depends on your keyboard layout so it's not like you can do it with a simple map, so only normal latin key is defined. Can you explain a bit on what you're doing here (what key you are trying to configure and how you configure)? |
|
Thanks, the Caps Lock part makes sense. I recorded it with configtool, in key code mode. It's the unicode addon's DirectUnicodeMode (Ctrl+Shift+U). I switch between us and ru, so I wanted the same physical key to work in both, that's why I used key code mode. In key code mode the widget stores the modifiers as is, without normalize: So the config gets In keysym mode you're right, it's consistent. Ctrl+Shift+Г gets recorded as I also checked what my change does to existing configs, and it breaks them. Would you be ok with fixing only the key code case? E.g. compare key code hotkeys against the modifiers that were actually pressed. If you think it should be done somewhere else, like configtool, I can rework the PR that way. |
|
Ok, the same phyiscal key part, maybe you can try the a little bit hidden keycode mode (right click the record button and select key code). |
|
Yes, that's the mode I used, Same thing in unit test form: auto hotkey = fcitx::Key("Control+Shift+<30>");
auto event = fcitx::Key(FcitxKey_Cyrillic_GHE, fcitx::KeyState::Ctrl_Shift, 30).normalize();
// event.states() is only Ctrl here, so event.check(hotkey) is falseWith |
|
@Nik-Gleb Yeah, I think that might be the issue with normalize too. I think the point is we somehow need to improve the matching. Passing the key event (which contains raw, orig, normalized) would be more correct. How normalized is done it is less relevant here. |
|
Do you want to do it yourself, or should I rework this PR? If it's me, I'd add a check on the key event itself: for key code based hotkeys it uses the raw modifiers, for the rest the normalized key, same as now. Then switch the callers over to it. That's around 30 places that now call |
|
@Nik-Gleb I can do it, no worries. I think we only need to do where it makes sense: if a feature can be triggered without engine, then likely it should be using both raw key and orig key. |
|
Thank you so much! I'll test it on my setup once it's ready. There may not be that many of us linux-desktopers, but I think fcitx will get more users (and more requests) soon. Everyone is getting tired of typing to AI CLIs by hand and will be looking for ways to hook speech-to-text into fcitx, so more people will end up digging into input methods. At least that's how it looks to me. Anyway, have a nice day, and thanks for taking the time. |

Fix #1682
Key::normalize()dropped the shift state unconditionally for any nona-z/A-Z sym with a Unicode value, while a-z/A-Z only drops it when shift is
the only modifier.
Control+Shift+<cyrillic letter>was thereforenormalized to
Control+<cyrillic letter>, making everyControl(+Alt)+Shift+<letter>hotkey impossible to trigger with anon-latin layout,
Ctrl+Shift+Ubeing the most visible case.This exact case-vs-modifier logic is unchanged since
Key::normalize()was first written in 2015; none of the seven later commits that touched
this function (Hyper/Super2 support, a 2024 Shift+Tab fix, etc.) revisited
the a-z/A-Z assumption in the middle of it.
Generalize the a-z/A-Z case handling to a table of Unicode case pairs
instead of the ASCII range, and use it for both the shift-drop and the
Control+a->Control+Acanonicalization. Georgian and Cherokee areexcluded: on their xkeyboard-config layouts, shift selects an unrelated
letter rather than the other case of the same one, so they keep going
through the existing digit/punctuation path instead. The Cherokee
exclusion covers the whole original block (U+13A0-U+13FF), not just the
newer lowercase block, since Unicode also added six lowercase syllables
directly inside the original range. Greek final sigma is added as an
explicit pair even though it fails the round-trip check the rest of the
table relies on, because shift on that key does produce capital Sigma on
a real layout, same as on medial sigma; Unicode just doesn't map Sigma
back to final sigma.
