Keyboard not working for rename in Ubuntu
Problem :
My keyboard stops working in Nautilus when I try to rename any file / folder. This happened in Ubuntu 14.10 and inspite of installing all updates, my issue didn't get resolved.
If I have file named like "abc.xyz" and I press F2 / right click --> rename, nautilus does not respond to keyboard keys but it does to mouse.
Solution:
Found this on forums and it worked for me.
This is linked to the ibus "intelligent keyboard entry bus" used for complex entry. You can disable it permanently so it doesn't start at all.

- Go to "Langauage Support" application --> Languages tab. On the bottom of the window, you'll have something like "keyboard input system" with "IBus" selected. Select "None"
- Open Terminal, Execute killall ibus-daemon command
That's it !! Enjoy :)
