[Bug 1278569] Re: ibus breaks emacs and eclipse control-space keybinding

 

I think this is caused by setting Ctrl-Space as the default shortcut in
ibus-setup's default configuration, that's a diff between Ubuntu and
Debian because there was problem in switching the input method in Unity
(where Super-Space is captured by gnome/unity-settings-daemon). I'll see
if we can drop that with recent gnome/unity-settings-daemon updates.

Title:
  ibus breaks emacs and eclipse control-space keybinding

Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Installing ibus 1.5.5-1ubuntu1 breaks Emacs 24's control-space
  keybinding.  I generally have that bound to a custom lisp function,
  but by default (e.g. starting with `emacs -Q`) it is bound to set-
  mark-command.  After doing a dist-upgrade in Trusty which installs
  ibus 1.5.5-1ubuntu1, emacs no longer even sees the control-space key
  chord.  My guess is that ibus is consuming this event, preventing
  emacs from seeing it.  This is a critical regression that makes emacs
  almost unusable.

  By process of elimination, I've narrowed it down to one of these 4
  binary packages.

  gir1.2-ibus-1.0
  ibus
  ibus-gtk
  ibus-gtk3
