Ctrl+shift+e causes beeping

inputkeyboardkeyboard shortcuts

I recently got a new laptop and installed Arch on it. I noticed that in a few applications, including chrome and gedit, pressing ctrl+shift+e will cause the next few keys pressed to be underlined, beep when pressed, and then deleted.

I've looked around for a while, and the only way I can seem to "fix" it is to unload the pcspkr module. However, this still doesn't fix the issue, it only silences the beeping.

It seems to happen under both gnome and i3, but not in a tty.

Is there any way I can turn this off?

One needs to run ibus-setup and in the tab "Emoji" change the shortcut (click on the three dots that are focused in the screenshot)

Ubuntu – Disabling caps lock by setxkbmap makes it Shift key in Emacs

I use xmodmap and it work fine. Install xmodmap and have xmodmap .xmod autostart. Content of .xmod.

remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keycode 66 = Control_L NoSymbol Control_L
add Control = Control_L

Maybe your keycode is different.

Linux – Working around a buggy keyboard / hacking an input stream

There's a project on GitHub called inputty which does what you're trying to achieve - it reads evdev events from real HID devices and creates uinput devices to emulate virtual HID hardware. For example, here's a qml script adds a virtual keyboard which outputs an additional x keypress after an f keypress on a real keyboard.

You should be able to implement your algorithm with this, or just drop the F12 key if you can live without it.
