Bug#258399: xlibs: dvorak keyboard layout is missing right alt key

2005-07-24 Thread Andrew Pimlott
I'm another dvorak user who is annoyed by this behavior, and from
reading this bug log, I can't figure out what the difficulty is.
Shouldn't the line

include "level3(ralt_switch_multikey)"

(line 64) simply be removed from pc/dvorak?  This is part of the "basic"
definition, and does not seem to belong there.  In pc/us, the "basic"
definition does not include such a line, only the "intl" and "alt-intl"
definitions.  Do some people need an "intl" version of pc/dvorak
(besides those already present, eg "fr" and "pl_basic")?  If so, let
them provide it; or if I must, I'll provide it, and they can fix it if
it's broken.  Meanwhile, let's fix the definition for 90% of users who
just want both alt keys to work.

If this is not the solution, can someone explain the problem in small
words, and I promise I'll work on it.

Andrew

PS.  Thanks a lot Adam for putting that song in your sig that is now
stuck in my head.

You are fully right. As there have been various problems with other
changes in XKB stuff, I for one was reluctant to push this change
in before sarge release.  I plan working on XKB very soon, and will
then commit this change.
