[Bug 241824] New: Czech key map assignes same character to two different keys
https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241824 Summary: Czech key map assignes same character to two different keys Product: openSUSE 10.2 Version: Final Platform: 32bit OS/Version: Other Status: NEW Severity: Minor Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: sndirsch@novell.com ReportedBy: oak.brno@seznam.cz QAContact: sndirsch@novell.com Czech key map (in all variations) wrongly thinks that two keys - " \ " and " ' " are one key [treats them equally], [producing] the " \ ". This is openSuSE 10.2 issue only, 10.1 was fine. As a result, a user can't write English text on the Czech keyboard, because he can't enter a character " ' " and has to switch to English key map each time. When setting other key map, i.e. Danish or English, the two keys have different characters assigned. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Which czech keyboard do you expect? ALL. Changing a particular Czech keyboard doesn't affect this behavior. Changing to different country (i.e. Dutch, in KDE Control Center) does affect it. Tested on two different keyobards (laptop's built-in & external).
What's the output of "setxkbmap -print" ?
setxkbmap -print xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+group(shifts_toggle)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; };

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=241824 ------- Comment #4 from oak.brno@seznam.cz 2007-02-02 16:45 MST ------- More info: My default keykodes are QWERTZ. Studying the link above I found out, that the " ' " character choud be accesible by pressing ALT and key to the right from " ů ". And the key on which we are focused (next to the right) produces " \ " respectively " | " with SHIFT. This is exactly what the specification on the above link says. But: - in SuSE 7.3 - 10.1 this key produced " ' " if SHIFT was held down (as far as I can remember) - it still means, there are two key doing absolutely same job, as there is a specific " \ " key on my external keyboard (to the right of shortened shift). On the keyboard which doesn't have this specific key (such as my built-in) keyboard, the " \ " key should be accessed via ALTGR+Q which is standard for both Windows and Linux. The " | " character is accesible via ALTGR+W (which of course works as well). -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.

Standard specific for the Czech key maps, of course. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug, or are watching someone who is.
