Bug Description
Ubuntu has changed how it handles input switching and no longer relies on the Ibus hotkey/trigger settings. The default upstream Ibus keybindings for input switching, however, are still installed unchanged in Ubuntu.
As a result, Control+Space, the default Ibus keybinding for input swithing, is needlessly set in the dconf db. This keybinding overrides Control+Space in other applications, notably Emacs and Eclipse auto-complete.
The default dconf db settings for Ibus are loaded by /etc/dconf/
trigger=
triggers=
It's hard for most users to figure this out and the problem could be easily avoided by changing the default settings supplied from upstream.
This applies to 12.04, 13.10, 14.04.
Thank you for your bug report.
Aron, could you have a look if we should change something there?
