[Bug 1189180] New: Czech keyboard layout added => Alt+a does not work
http://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1189180 Bug ID: 1189180 Summary: Czech keyboard layout added => Alt+a does not work Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE Tumbleweed Version: Current Hardware: Other OS: Other Status: NEW Severity: Normal Priority: P5 - None Component: KDE Workspace (Plasma) Assignee: opensuse-kde-bugs@opensuse.org Reporter: mprosicky@volny.cz QA Contact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- When you have Czech keyboard layout (eg. QWERTY, but seems to be the case for all Czech variants) added in your KDE Keyboard Layouts settings it results in Alt+a key combination not working. And the Czech layout does not even have to be the currently active one, it just needs to be in the list! I had English (US) and Czech (QWERTY) -> then Alt+a does not work. When I removed the Czech one -> it works. When I added German to that English one -> it also works. When I had all three - English, German and Czech -> does not work. The Czech is a problem. I have noticed it in Emacs (where it should move the cursor to the start of sentence), but it also does not work in eg. Blender (where it should start/stop playing animation). Don't know whether the Alt+a combination is the only problem (for example Alt+e works). I am using default KDE shorcuts - no customization in this regards. The problem was already replicated by other users and seems it is a problem in other OpenSuse variants too, not just Tumbleweed. The thread where I have already discussed the problem (and contains further info): https://forums.opensuse.org/showthread.php/557817-Alt-a-does-not-work-in-KDE... The way to reproduce should be simple, just add Czech keyboard layout to your English one and Alt+a in eg Emacs should stop working; remove the Czech layout and it will start working imediately. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

Currently I am unable to use Emacs keybindings such as Alt+w, Alt+h, Control+Alt+a etc. Weirdly enough Alt+a works for me. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

When Czech is one of the layouts, even if it's not the currently selected layout, Alt+a does not work. I have tried this with different variants of Czech layouts, and weirdly this happens with all of them except the "Czech coder" layout. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.

I lose the layout indicator applet and it still doesn't fix the problem for the CZ layout, but at least US layout is not affected anymore and Alt+a works there. The script: (setxkbmap -query | grep -q "layout:\s\+us") && setxkbmap cz || setxkbmap us -- You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.
