[Bug 1099778] New: Missing keys in Czech UCW keybord layout.
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1099778 Bug ID: 1099778 Summary: Missing keys in Czech UCW keybord layout. Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: All OS: openSUSE Factory Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org Assignee: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Reporter: honzikcernoh@gmail.com QA Contact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- The czech UCW layout should contain all accented letters, that are present in the Czech language and some other accented letters, that are present on the remining keys. For instance, there are many ways how an 's' can be accented, but there is only one way in the Czech language, which is š. So where on the QWRERTY keyboard would be s, here is š. In combination with Shift, the keyboard layout contains the capital forms of the letters, which can be typed also with CapsLock. To the problem: the Ě and Š letters can be written only with CapsLock, not with Shift, even though the layout file defines them correctly. How to reproduce: setxkbmap "cz(ucw)" CAUTION! If you write the command in the way showed above, you will replace all your normal letters and will not be able to write a command to revert the change. Use multiple layouts at once and select a keyboard shortcut to switch them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Yes, I use the layout in this combination: setxkbmap "us,cz(ucw)" -option grp:caps_switch The weird thing is that as I wrote, other keys work normally. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

When I type I use CapsLock as a modifier key to add the according accent to letters, so CapsLock+c becomes č CapsLock+Shift+C becomes Č and so on. This happens with all letters except Ě and Š. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Same for

That doesn't work for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Hmm. With
setxkbmap "us,cz(ucw)" -option grp:caps_switch
Capslock+w = ě Capslock+s = š

With setxkbmap "us,cz(ucw)" -option grp:caps_switch Capslock+Shift+w = nothing Capslock+Shift+s = nothing By the way, also: Capslock+Shift+x = nothing (but maybe that is expected) I tested in Leap 15 in KDE and in Gnome. Xev shows that no event is delivered at all when the W/S/X button is pressed. So it seems that it is not a problem of the mapping, but something prevented the event from being sent. I'll try to debug where it is lost. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The Czech special characters don't take up the whole alphabet, so the rest of the keys contain some common special characters from other languages. The ß AKA the sharp S is a German character, which doesn't have a capital form. So even in the layout files it is defined as empty. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

The notebook keyboard is internally connected with some variant of PS/2. If I connect external USB keyboard, the key combination works fine. So I suspect that we are just observing a hardware limitation here. What kind of keyboard do you use? Could you try with different one? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

If I use a Lenovo Ultraslim Keyboard and Mouse combo (connected by a wireless USB dongle), I am unable to write these characters, but the internal keyboard of the notebook works without a problem. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Unfortunately, we can not do anything about that. You can try to use different key for switching the layouts, for example the Win key: setxkbmap "us,cz(ucw)" -option grp:win_switch Please reopen if the key combination worked in older version of openSUSE or other operating system. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
