Summary - keybindings with english letters not accessible after keyboard layout
switch to foreign language
Task Type - Bug Report
Category - Core
Status - Unconfirmed
Assigned To -
Operating System - Linux
Severity - Medium
Priority - Normal
Reported Version - 3.4.10
Due in Version - Undecided
Due Date - Undecided
Details - Currently, keybindings (such as the default mod4+ctrl+R to restart
awesome) do not activate after the keyboard has switched to a foreign language.
For example: after setxkbmap il (to switch the keyboard layout to Hebrew), the letter R
is replaced on the keyboard with a ר (a "reish").
Expected behavior: if mod4+ctrl+R is bound to restart awesome, then mod4+ctrl+ר
would also be bound to restart awesome, because the R and the ר occur at the
same place on the keyboard. Expecting users to rebind all their keybindings for
foreign layouts is cumbersome, and Lua's support for Unicode is spotty anyways
(from what I understand).
Means of discovery: Was following: http://awesome.naquadah.org/wiki/Change_keyboard_maps and
decided I'd rather have a key switch for switching layouts than clicking on the wibox. Added
awful.key({modkey}, "s", function() kbdcfg.switch() end ), in globalkeys in rc.lua, and
the keyboard layout would only switch when switching from the us layout. Had to put in a workaround
of awful.key({modkey}, "Insert", function() kbdcfg.switch() end ), to allow a switch back
to the us layout.
