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

 

Based on earlier suggestions, I worked around this by changing the
keybinding to <Ctrl><Alt>space.  The dialog to change this is not
entirely intuitive; you have to click the [...] button next to the
current binding.

For the record, Xubuntu 14.04 and ibus 1.5.5-1ubuntu3

Title:
  ibus breaks emacs and eclipse control-space keybinding

Status in “ibus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

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
