[plasmashell] [Bug 369353] New: Swedish layout doesn't make Alt Gr a 3rd level modifier by default
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=369353 Bug ID: 369353 Summary: Swedish layout doesn't make Alt Gr a 3rd level modifier by default Product: plasmashell Version: master Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk Reporter: emilio.alvare...@gmail.com CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org The Swedish keyboard layout necessitates that the key Alt Gr (Right Alt on US-keyboards) is used as a 3rd level modifier for several important keys such as @ and $. Having this not be the default is very confusing for new users and makes it hard to interact with the OS. It is currently possible to change Alt Gr to function as a 3rd level modifier by modifying Right Alt in the advanced section of Keyboard Hardware and Layout (Which in itself is confusing since there is no right alt on Swedish keyboards) so it is probably possible to inplement a solution where this is done by default quite fast. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Change the keyboard layout to Swedish 2. Try to use Alt Gr (e.g. try to type @) Actual Results: Alt Gr is recognized as Alt Expected Results: Alt Gr is recognized correctly and as a 3rd level modifier -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
