Package: console-setup
Version: 1.205
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: gessos.p...@gmail.com
Dear Maintainer,
I remember this annoying issue, in all Debian based distros, at least for the
last 7 years.
Initial Conditions:
There is no X. I have only the tty.
(Or there is a desktop environment installed but I am in the tty via
Alt-Ctrl-Fx)
I have 2 keyboard layouts "en,gr".
With Alt-Shift key combination I AM IN GREEK KEYBOARD LAYOUT NOW.
What MUST BE HAPPEN:
Type KEY ; (in Greek is the CHAR "'") - This is a "dead" key and nothing happens
Type KEY a (in Greek is the CHAR "α"). The CHAR "ά" must appear in tty (you
have it with Alt+0940 key combination)
Type KEY COMBINATION Shift-; (in Greek is the CHAR """) - This is a "dead" key
and nothing happens
Type KEY i (in Greek is the CHAR "ι"). The CHAR "ϊ" must
appear in tty (you have it with Alt+0970 key combination)
Type KEY ; (in Greek is the CHAR "'") - This is a "dead" key
and nothing happens
Type KEY COMBINATION Shift-; (in Greek is the CHAR """) - This is a "dead" key
and nothing happens
Type KEY y (in Greek is the CHAR "υ"). The CHAR "ΰ" must
appear in tty (you have it with Alt+0944 key combination)
More info here under the header "Greek" (plain):
http://kbdlayout.info/features/deadkeys
What REALLY HAPPENS
Type KEY ; (in Greek is the CHAR "'") - This is a "dead" key and nothing
happens - CORRECT
Type KEY a (in Greek is the CHAR "α"). Two CHARs "'α" appear in tty - WRONG!
(This is not 'α but ά)
Type KEY COMBINATION Shift-; (in Greek is the CHAR """) - This is a "dead" key
and nothing happens - CORRECT
Type KEY i (in Greek is the CHAR "ι"). Two CHARs ""ι" appear
in tty - WRONG! (This is not "ι but ϊ)
Type KEY ; (in Greek is the CHAR "'") - This is a "dead" key
and nothing happens - CORRECT
Type KEY COMBINATION Shift-; (in Greek is the CHAR """) - The CHAR "'" appears
in tty - WRONG! (This is a "dead" key and nothing must be happen)
Type KEY y (in Greek is the CHAR "υ"). Two CHARx ""υ" appear
in tty - WRONG! (This is not '"υ but ΰ)
