Not working on Ubuntu

roughpandaz opened this issue · comments

This is Awesome! However, I just ran through the steps including restarting and changing the system to X11.

However, I don't see any changes.

How do I know it's working?

Hi Rongxin,
Thanks you for reaching out. Can you please provide the Ubuntu version you are using? Looking forward to hearing from you!

Hi @petrstepanov

I'm using Ubuntu 22 and there's a couple issues that I've encountered

  1. Upon installation, running the uninstallation script doesn't reset the state after rebooting
  2. While CMD is now the main controller key, the terminal-specific behavior (ctrl-c, ctrl-r etc) doesn't seem to apply; it's literally just cmd/ctrl switching such that cmd-c, cmd-r works instead
  3. Browser tab switching doesn't seem to be working (with ctrl-tab or ctrl-shift-tab, those switch applications instead)

Let me know if this has been tested or if some setup is wrong. I didn't see a "Gnome on Xorg" option at startup and instead only see "Gnome Classic" and "ubuntu" during login

After poking around, I realized that I had to unswap the cmd-ctrl key positions in Tweak Tools as well; uninstallation looks to be working otherwise

Maybe the issues I was encountering was due to incompatibility with Tweak Tools? I can try and disable and test again

Hi @joseph-zhong can you please specify what exactly is not working on your end?

@joseph-zhong Tweaks and this script both modify dconf database entries so technically yes, changing keyboard settings through Tweaks can break things.
