https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=710895 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=710895#c0 Summary: Keyboard remapping of shift+backspace key does not work Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 11.4 Version: Final Platform: 64bit OS/Version: openSUSE 11.4 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: X.Org AssignedTo: bnc-team-xorg-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: joonpyro@gmail.com QAContact: xorg-maintainer-bugs@forge.provo.novell.com Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Opera/9.80 (X11; Linux x86_64; U; Edition Next; en) Presto/2.9.186 Version/12.00 The shift + part of the backspace key (keycode 22) does not correctly processed. Specifically, whatever I put for the shift+keycode 22, actually pressing shift+keycode 22 just types keycode 22 (without shift) For example, with the following .Xmodmap: keycode 22 = grave asciitilde dead_tilde asciitilde when I press shift+backspace, I get ` instead of ~, and keycode 22 = s S dead_tilde asciitilde when I press shift+backspace, I get s instead of S. I remember this did not happen in openSUSE 11.3, and with Chakra linux, it did not happen. Thank you, Joon Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. remap keycode 22 to other key 2. press shift+keycode 22 3. Actual Results: get whatever character assigned to keycode 22 Expected Results: get whatever character assigned to shift+keycode 22 -- 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.

But why do you want to remap Backspace ?!?

I found it is easier to reach :) The BackSpace key is one of the most frequently pressed keys and the grave key is easier to press than BackSpace, while the grave key is less frequently used. I have been using this for a couple of years. :) -- 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.

I mean remap Shift+BS ...

Oh you are asking why shift + BS. You know, I'm remapping the BS key to the grave key so I need the shift part for the asciitilde. Anyway, I tried to comment out the last line of /etc/X11/Xmodmap.remote but it still does not work.

You may play around with mv ~/.Xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap.backup cp -p /etc/X11/Xmodmap.remote ~/.Xmodmap vi ~/.Xmodmap xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap on next login with xdm/kdm/gdm the mappings in ~/.Xmodmap are active (beside some others done by kdm/kde gdm/gnome may override this). And it may also depend on the scripts of kdm/kde or gdm/gnome or any other display manager setup which may or may not use the scripts below /etc/X11/xdm/ -- 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.

Thanks. I have my own ~/.Xmodmap and whatever I do, remapping shift+backspace key does not work. I thought there might be another .Xmodmap file which was run automatically and it was causing the problem, but I guess not. -- 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.
