[Bug 1013881]
For some reason, I found myself using the 'fr oss' layout in Gnome 3.10. And I must say that finding out that this layout was picked as the default left me speechless: two keys on my keyboard no longer behave according to what's *on* the actual key: - the right control key, which just says "Ctrl", just like its left counterpart, - and the keypad's del/dot key which has an actual dot on it, not a comma Both of those changes are incomprehensible. Whether *alternative* layouts exist to provide new mappings is of no issue to me. But a layout touted as the default layout should respect what's *engraved* on keyboards. FTR, the original 'fr' layout also has that keypad dot/comma issue but not the right control mapped to Level5, but at least there's an "kpdl:dot" option to fix the former. So I fumbled through Gnome's ever- changing control panel and managed to change back to it. (In reply to comment #46) > For me it does.

About a "short nbsp" in french, let's make it perfectly clear that there must be about a hundred professionnal typographists in the whole country who care about it - most of them not using Linux BTW - and the rest of the ~40 million computer users here don't give a shit about a "short nbsp" and don't even know what it is, feel perfectly happy with the "correct french" they write without it, and many of them just would like their fscking right [Ctrl] key back. If a so thin minority of professional typographists that in no way represent the average french "Joe" user want this modifier, it's perfectly OK that they devise their own special layout for their on needs, but by no means impose it on the rest of us. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013881 Title: Right-Ctrl key broken on French OSS keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+bug/1013881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

BTW, about the punctuation signs that, in French, requires a nbsp before them, i.e. " ; : ! ? " (for perfect typographic correctness, while usually few people know about this and nobody really cares...) : Usual word processing programs, such as OpenOffice / LibreOffice, when configured to the french locale, add these typographically required nbsps automagically, so people actually do not have to type the nbsp, which makes the need for an easy entry of these still less of an issue. Should we follow the slope of stealing a useful right [Ctrl] key for this, then me might well in the future steal the left one for the dash " - ", as in french, we typographically use at least 3 different lenghts for dashes. As previously, word processing software usually transforms the "normal dash" into the "typographically correct dash"... Nope, all this mess of quite complex and unusual characters is the very reason for which meta and compose keys exist in the first place... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013881 Title: Right-Ctrl key broken on French OSS keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+bug/1013881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Swâmi, We've all laid out these arguments many times over. Yes, this issue is frustrating (and I regret having vented some of my own frustration in my first comments) but let's keep it civil. There are proposed solutions. I, for one, think Andreas' proposal is the best way out of the current dead lock as it would allow each and everyone of us to configure the fr-oss layout the way we want it.

I too believe that Andreas' proposal is the right one. It permits people who really want the extra 5th level to be able to easily get it, while not breaking the 99% usual usage. Just for the record, I had not seen the linuxfr discussion. I guess mostly only people who would want the extra 5th level did realize that it would steal the right control key. If a discussion happened on "are people fine with making the right control key the 5th level modifier by *default*", the result would be quite different, I believe. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013881 Title: Right-Ctrl key broken on French OSS keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+bug/1013881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

At the risk of just making things worse ... My €0.02 is that we should stick with level 5 right Control as being optional. This is a marginal (in terms of percentage of userbase that will ever see/use it) layout that people have to go out of their way to use, but still taking away a modifier is a pretty big and surprising step. I've got sympathy with the non-breaking-space thing from a strict technical correctness point of view, however it just can't be essential for day-to-day usage if Windows requires you to enter it by the Unicode codepoint. If such a large percentage of the French-speaking world cope with it, then so can we. I think Andreas's proposal is the only sensible one. Some people won't be happy with it, but if this discussion (and that of Bépo) has shown us anything, it's that you really can't please anyone when dealing with alternate French keyboard layouts. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013881 Title: Right-Ctrl key broken on French OSS keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+bug/1013881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm not quite sure how you want us to organize a vote or poll. French Linux users (just like non-French ones) use a variety of distributions (which, BTW, may not ship the changed version of xkeyboard-config), and may not even all use a French keyboard (I'd say roughly half of my Linux-using friends and coworkers are using US qwerty layouts or mac layouts).

But this has the same pitfall as any volunteered survey, it isn't any kind of representative. I for example myself barely ever read a linuxfr article, and wouldn't participate or even see a survey there. That doesn't mean I'm not a French fr/oss user :) Also note that people suffering from the situations are a lot more likely to do something and speak their mind than people perfectly happy with the situation. So probably "discussing" a problem is likely to only include opinion from people not happy with the current state, and people closely involved. > I realise there is a vocal minority that does not like some of those choices > but Just to be fair, I see *no one* else here arguing towards keeping right Ctrl Level5 modifier -- but sure, as I state above, people happy with it won't see the discussion or care, so it may be biased. > 1. the other alternatives used in the ancestors of this layout generated a > lot more hate mail If it broke people's apps (or apps broke with it, I don't care who's fault it is), I surely can understand people being angry.

But I don't think it's realistic to think everyone can "choose the previous behavior" if it means editing the keymap. I already said it, but it took me quite some time to find what caused my right Ctrl key to no longer work and fix it, and I think it's fair to consider myself a quite advanced user.

The change in this particular report did not add or remove any symbol, it only moved one to Level5 because some apps couldn't handle Space with this layout. And as I said earlier, most of the incriminated apps (at least that I know of) don't even use Space anymore, rendering the change moot for them.

What's disproportionate is the reaction here! *before* the change this report introduced, and which many of us are trying to get reverted, *both* nbsp and nbspc were easily available: nbsp AltGr+Shift+Space nbspc Ctrl+Shift+Space Reverting the change this report introduced would get this behavior. Please understand we just want to get nbspc moved back where it *was* (or for me, anywhere on a 1-4 level), not removed or anything. Also, realize that currently there is only *one* Level5-specific symbol, and that's nbspc, so we basically have a key only for that. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013881 Title: Right-Ctrl key broken on French OSS keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+bug/1013881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I'm at a loss as to what to do to help find a solution for everyone. fr-oss is a great layout with many useful improvements over fr-latin9, but the missing ControlR is a deal breaker. I'm personally back to using the default "fr" layout and I'll advise users to do the same if they want their ControlR back. @Ubuntu users listening in through Launchpad: use whatever control panel you have to select a layout that doesn't have the words "Alternative" or "variante".

I spent a couple days extremely disappointed to have a broken right [CTRL] key on a french keyboard on recent Arch installs, thus being unable to use VirtualBox properly, and googling around (and let me tell you that my googling showed me a *lot* of french people are really upset with this as well) I finally found out that this breakage comes from this commit : http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard- config/commit/symbols/fr?id=518c769df2e9ce70cb721769a08b81504f243b2a ( http://goo.gl/SWU8Is ) Let me tell you that this breakage of right [CTRL], assigning it to ANOTHER function than right [CTRL] is completely inappropriate and upsetting.

(In reply to comment #50) > Could someone create poll on some french(belgian) web site, linux-oriented. > Which behavior would be preferable? A poll would be pointless as its representativeness would be very hard to determine. Most users don't care "as long as it works" and may not even know there is a poll somewhere. The matter is : French keyboard have, and have always had since the PC keyboards exist (that makes 30 years), 2 similar [CTRL] keys that have the same printed label and are expected to exhibit the same behaviour. AND THEY ALWAYS HAVE BEEN SO IN ANY LINUX OR "other OS" keymaps, and especially default keymaps - if anybody wants to customize HER keyboard, then it's HER choice, but by no means a default. OTOH French keyboard have a left [Alt] key and a right [AltGr] keys having different labels and expected to have different roles. This is extremely clear. Both [CTRL] keys should act as [CTRL] keys. Left one, rigth one, period. Some softwares - such as Virtualbox - will want to use the left or right CTRL key for some specific role, and then it's printed in their documentation and the corresponding key is supposed to exist and be correctly mapped. It is nonsense to find oneself with a keymap in which some highly classical and standard key just doesn't happen to exist anymore just because of a once-upon-a-time existing issue (since solved) with a shortcut on a music player that nobody cares about !?!?!? You don't want to break a professional keyboard just because of arguable choices in a toy ! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013881 Title: Right-Ctrl key broken on French OSS keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+bug/1013881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

(In reply to comment #50) > Could someone create poll on some french(belgian) web site, linux-oriented. > Which behavior would be preferable? Is this even necessary? I mean, the change wasn't made in the first place because an user wasn't happy with the state, but because some apps couldn't handle it. And nowadays, at least some of those apps (Rhythmbox, Totem, …) have been fixed or altered in a way they do not suffer from it anymore, actually mostly nullifying the original point. Also, what a poll would do? This looks like a pretty subtle problem to me, and an uneducated user couldn't really tell. As far as they are concerned, I would think they just want everything working. Even me, if you ask I would say (as in my previous reply) just fix the XLookupString while keeping the original mapping, since IIUC it would fix everybody's issue.

I had yet another good reason to revert to a "normal right [CTRL] key" on a Fedora this morning: I was working in a terminal with several open terminal tabs. Switching between tabs is made using [Ctrl]-[PageUp] and [Ctrl]-[PageDown] - same goes with other Gnome tabbed apps, as well as Firefox and Chromium... If you have a working right [Ctrl] key, switching tabs is easy, you just need 2 fingers from your right hand. If you don't have a working right [Ctrl] key, you need both hands.

Repeating : 1/ Standard French keyboard has NO [CtrlGr] key. It does have 2 normal [Ctrl] keys bearing the exact same label. The right [Ctrl] key actually is a right [Ctrl] key and no other modifier or whatever. 2/ There are quite a *lot* of common, daily used by professional IT staff, keyboard shortcuts or combinations such as [Ctrl]-[Arrows], [Ctrl]-[PageUp/Down], [Ctrl]-[Home], [Ctrl]-[End], plus all such combinations adding [Shift], then [Ctrl]-L, [Ctrl]-M... -> All these day-long used combinations can be conveniently played with 2 (or 3) fingers when the right [Ctrl] key actually is a right [Ctrl] key, and changing this key breaks them all, needing people to start using both hands for typing what they have typed with 2 fingers for 30 YEARS ! And mistype. And mistype. And mistype. 3/ The issue with Rythmbox looks solved for long, and who wants to break professional use of a keyboard for a solved bug in a music player ? 4/ Nobody (normal user) I talked to has ever heard about a "level 5" story, nor do people give a damn. 5/ Everybody wanting to type non-breakable space in word processors (LibreOffice...) do it with [Ctrl]-[Shift]-[Space] and don't need a specifically modified right Ctrl for that. 6/ Breaking right [Ctrl] breaks other apps that specifically request it NOT to be broke, such as [VirtualBox] - again professional stuff.

I never heard of or used the level5 either, but to solve the issue could we maybe put it in another layout? For example something like "oss- level5"? I personally have to patch the file on every package update and even if I'm used to that and have the patch ready now, it gets annoying.

Even though I've been an IT professional for the past 3O years, I went to a large computer store in France over lunch time, to find out if such thing as a [CtrlGr] key could possibly exist on a french keyboard. Let me tell you : I couldn't find any. OTOH, I was surprised to notice that some tablets with removable keyboards, as well as some ultrabooks with space-saver keyboards, did not have a right [Ctrl] key at all ! All have a left [Ctrl], left [Alt] and right [AltGr]. The vast majority of times, they have a right [Ctrl] key which is similar to the left one. But sometimes there is no right [Ctrl] at all ! This single fact prohibits a standard keymap giving a different assignation to the right [Ctrl] key, because this key may well not even exist on a given keyboard ! Thus you cannot rely on it for any feature that could be positively necessary.

And what if instead of level 4, we put non-breaking space to level 3. I find it is more convenient (and I think I am not alone). So, instead of: include "nbsp(level4nl)" we put non-breaking space to level 3: include "nbsp(level3n)" This gives us back the Right-Ctrl. It does not break RhythmBox behaviour any more.

[Bug 1013881] Re: Right-Ctrl key broken on French OSS keyboard
The change is from patch 109_fr_oss_space_char.patch which was brought in with version 2.5-1ubuntu1.1. Changing the behavior of the right control key was intentional, as requested by reporters in bug #221112 to fix a bad problem that occurs when using Rhythmbox. 2.5-1ubuntu1.1 is included in precise-updates now, since the SRU request was accepted and processed. So it's too late to pull the fix, it'd need a new SRU filed with a reversion. Note that the patch in question was also included in Lucid and Maverick as a Ubuntu-specific patch (when RB was the default music player), but inadvertently got dropped for natty and oneiric. Meanwhile, the patch was sent upstream and accepted there. While the patch is a behavioral change compared with oneiric, since it preserves a behavior fixed in Lucid it seems sensible to me to include it to eliminate the LTS->LTS behavior change. As to the proposed alternate solution, I am open to that if it does indeed fix things for both parties, *and* if it gets taken upstream. I see that bug reporters have already raised that upstream, so thanks! What we're going to do is wait and see what upstream thinks about it, and if/when they commit a fix we can consider pulling it for Ubuntu too. ** Changed in: xkeyboard-config (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => In Progress ** Also affects: xkeyboard-config via https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15804 Importance: Unknown Status: Unknown -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1013881 Title: Right-Ctrl key broken on French OSS keyboard To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+bug/1013881/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Nothing specific, you took that the wrong way, as said I was trying to have a feeling of what percentage of the users it concerns and what is their usecase, I didn't say it was fine to bug anyone, but understand that any of the suggested solution so far do bother a part of the userbase, so we are stucked in choising what part is the smallest one or what issue is easier to work around > Since "2.5-1ubuntu1.1 is included in precise-updates now", I guess this bug will become very popular... No, it's not, as pointed before that patch and behaviour was default in Ubuntu in the lucid LTS and for years and we get very few negative feedback about it, I'm sorry it's impacting you directly but that doesn't make it an issue that impact every french user... > Excuse my ignorance, but what is the SRU.

Steve, ah, weird, I assumed the previous version was supposed to get pushed to -updates before a new sru would go in. In that case, then yes I can just discard the earlier fix.

This bug was fixed in the package xkeyboard-config - 2.5-1ubuntu1.3 --- xkeyboard-config (2.5-1ubuntu1.3) precise-proposed; urgency=low * Add 113_ossmath_is_five_levels.patch: Some keymaps like fr(oss) fail to load because they include ossmath (via keypad(oss)) which misconfigures the keypad as 4-level when it should be 5-level. This patch from upstream bugzilla fixes this by adding the 5th level to the ossmath definition. (LP: #985065) * Drop 109_fr_oss_space_char.patch change; the fix causes behavioral changes for right control which a fr(oss) user did not like. (LP: #1013881) xkeyboard-config (2.5-1ubuntu1.2) precise-proposed; urgency=low * Add 111_cz_ssharp.patch: Fix mapping of 4th level of the AC11 key to ssharp rather than quotedbl for the Czech layout. Cherrypick of patch from upstream. (LP: #953477) * Add 112_dk_dvorak_tilde.patch: Fix tilde key in the Danish Dvorak layout. It's not the same as Norwegian as has been assumed previously.
