This works for me with 2.0.3-1.1. Can you check there, and if it doesn't work
reopen and tell me the locale that OOo was run in, that may be relevent.

Comment 2 Akira TAGOH 2006-05-23 07:31:22 UTC

sorry for late testing, I've tested 2.0.3-2.1. but any modifier keys are not
passed through OOo. then ctrl+shift, shift+ctrl even tapping alt doesn't work.
guess keyevents for only modifier keys is discarded?

Comment 3 Caolan McNamara 2006-05-23 08:11:02 UTC

ctrl+shift and ctrl+space work for me on rawhide, so I don't understand what is
different for you that causes this. locale ?

Comment 4 Akira TAGOH 2006-05-23 08:42:40 UTC

You're right. it looks like a scim-bridge bug. when I run OOo with
GTK_IM_MODULE=scim, it works fine. but not with GTK_IM_MODULE=scim-bridge. I'll
assign this to scim-bridge then.

Comment 5 Ryo Dairiki 2006-06-14 07:44:47 UTC

This is because ooffice won't give IMContext key release events.
Scim-gtkim uses key snooper to grab these events, but it often causes problem in
firefox.
(That's why I didn't use it)

At last, I've added "use key snooper on demand" feature in scim-bridge-0.2.0-rc3
in the cvs repository.
You can enable this feature by setting the environmental variable as "export
SCIM_BRIDGE_KEY_SNOOPER_ENABLED=true".
That is, you can use such keystrokes in ooffice when you launch it with that
environmental variable.

Notice, I won't recommand you to use this feature in every application.
Use this only in ooffice by creating a shell script.

Comment 6 Jens Petersen 2006-06-14 08:55:47 UTC

Dairiki-san, thank you for this option.

Comment 7 Jens Petersen 2006-06-14 12:05:27 UTC

I built scim-bridge-0.2.0-0.1.20060614 for FC devel.

Comment 8 Jens Petersen 2006-07-04 03:22:25 UTC

Now that openoffice.org is working with IM input again, I confirm that
this is now fixed in current scim-bridge (tested with 0.2.3-1).

Comment 9 Jens Petersen 2006-07-05 13:25:59 UTC

Retesting, actually it only works with SCIM_BRIDGE_KEY_SNOOPER_ENABLED=true.

Comment 10 Jens Petersen 2006-07-05 13:29:54 UTC

Perhaps it should be added to the openoffice.org wrapper scripts.
