Title: Buggy ****...
Post by: Icarium on Tue, 17 January 2012, 14:20:39

I'm having trouble with applications ignoring the layout for hotkeys. Some applications now use ctrl+c for copy on dvorak others still use the old key which is now 'j'.

The neo layout didn't work at all in ubuntu only the first two layers were available at all. How did you guys deal with that kind of problems or am I the only one having them? :)

Try Colemak, it keeps ZXCVBMQWA keys for hot keys.

Nope, I've never had that problem. I've been using Dvorak on Windows for 12 years or so.

The only time you find this is with some games. But I've never had the example problem,  with copy being in the wrong place.

So working partly means not working at all?

Anyway, to get a better answer, you could tell us which programs ignore the layout and when (any patterns may help solve the problem), and which layouts are in your layout list and if and how you change.

(A descriptive thread title might also help your cause instead of your ****ty one)

I had a similar problem with StarCraft 2 in Mac OS X. Anders at the Colemak forums found a solution (http://eu.battle.net/sc2/en/forum/topic/443018011#6) though.
