For global addon, it's more preferable to match system layout instead of
matching the only the post layout convertion.

Also, key code based handling is prefer to match against normalization,
because normalization may remove shift mask and make matching fail.

Fix #1682
Closes #1683

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Improvements

    • Improved shortcut recognition across input methods and temporary modes.
    • Configured trigger, navigation, paste, Unicode, quick phrase, and preedit-toggle shortcuts now match more consistently when keys include normalized or state modifiers.
    • Key-event matching now supports normalized, original, and raw key comparisons, providing more reliable handling of customized shortcuts.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for key matching across different key representations and modifier states.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The change adds event-level key matching with selectable normalized, original, and raw modes. Shortcut handling adopts this API across keyboard, clipboard, input method, quick phrase, and Unicode paths. New tests cover the matching modes and key lists.

Changes

Key event matching

Layer / File(s) Summary
Matching API and documentation
src/lib/fcitx/event.h, src/lib/fcitx/event.cpp, src/lib/fcitx-utils/key.h
Adds matching modes and KeyEventBase::check and checkKeyList. The documentation recommends event-level matching for key events.
Shortcut matching integrations
src/im/keyboard/keyboard.cpp, src/lib/fcitx/instance.cpp, src/modules/clipboard/..., src/modules/imselector/..., src/modules/quickphrase/..., src/modules/unicode/...
Shortcut checks use event-level normalized matching. Existing spell toggling, trigger handling, paging, candidate navigation, and event consumption remain in their existing control paths.
Matching behavior tests
test/CMakeLists.txt, test/testkeyevent.cpp
Registers testkeyevent and tests normalized, raw, original, combined, key-list, and key-code matching.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

The PR adds KeyEvent::check and checkKeyList, and it migrates several configured shortcut users. However, it does not change Key::normalize() in src/lib/fcitx-utils/key.cpp. The new MatchAllNormalizedKeys path still compares key_ and origKey_.normalize(), so non-Latin Control+Shift+<letter> events still lose Shift. The added test/testkeyevent.cpp tests event matching and key codes, but it does not provide the required Cyrillic, Greek, Georgian, Cherokee, Latin, final-sigma, or normalization coverage from [#1682] and [#1683].

Resolution

Update Key::normalize() to use generalized Unicode case-pair handling. Preserve Shift when another modifier is present, while retaining sole-Shift removal. Implement the Georgian and Cherokee exceptions and the Greek final-sigma pair described in [#1683]. Add unit coverage for the required scripts, modifier combinations, canonicalization, and key-code cases in [#1682] and [#1683].

- Around line 41-66: The KeyEventBase::check matching path must preserve Shift
for modifier-sensitive shortcuts such as Control|Shift or Alt|Shift. Update the
relevant caller or mode selection for MatchAllNormalizedKeys so shortcuts
requiring Shift use MatchRawKey, reusing rawKey_ comparison without
normalization while leaving ordinary normalized matching unchanged.

In `@test/testkeyevent.cpp`:
- Line 17: Add regression cases alongside the existing KeyEvent construction to
cover Cyrillic, Greek final sigma, Georgian, and a directly encoded Cherokee

while Control+Shift and Alt+Shift retain it; treat comparisons as exact keysym

Use raw-key matching for modifier-preserving shortcuts. For Key(FcitxKey_Arabic_alef, Control|Shift) or Alt|Shift, normalization removes Shift. MatchAllNormalizedKeys then compares only the normalized event values against the configured key, so the shortcut does not match. Use MatchRawKey for shortcuts that require Shift preservation. MatchRawKey already compares rawKey_ without normalization.

Add non-Latin Shift-normalization regression cases.

This test only uses ASCII symbols. Add Cyrillic, Greek final sigma, Georgian, and a directly encoded Cherokee keysym. Assert that Shift-only input removes Shift, while Control+Shift and Alt+Shift retain Shift.

These tests cover Unicode key-symbol normalization. Do not describe them as Unicode case-folding tests because Key::check() compares keysyms exactly.
