OK. I apparently missed it, then. Will consider including the keymapif I find enough motivation (console-data is such a mess) :-) signature.asc Description: Digital signature

Am I right? My concern is that there doesn't seem to be such keymap in X11. I would prefer adding keymaps to console-data only when they exist in X11, meaning they're used by a significant number of people. hmm, are you sure? i'm using it right now. it might be called dvorak-gb or something. if you're using GNOME, you can add it through keyboard preferences - layout "United Kingdom", variant "Dvorak". this is what i have in xorg.conf, which makes it work in gdm too: Section "InputDevice" # generated from default Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" Option "XkbLayout" "gb" Option "XkbVariant" "dvorak" EndSection X -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".

tags 495634 moreinfo thanks Hello Ximin, I'm back on this proposal to include a "dvorak-uk" keymap to console-data. I don't know much about Dvorak keymaps but could you explain what is the difference with the "standard" Dvorak" keymap one can find as /usr/share/keymaps/i386/dvorak/dvorak.kmap.gz I understand this keymap to be equivalent to what the "uk" keymap is to the "us" one. Am I right? My concern is that there doesn't seem to be such keymap in X11. I would prefer adding keymaps to console-data only when they exist in X11, meaning they're used by a significant number of people. Would you mind bringing me more arguments to convince me to include it in console-data? -- signature.asc Description: Digital signature
