[Bug 188308] Re: colemak is broken
Is this really a bug in xkeyboard-config, the keyboard configuration files? I don't think so. The layout works fine if used as the default and only layout in gnome-keyboard-properties (except for the issue that the key doesn't repeat). The problem occurs if trying to switch between layouts in gnome- keyboard-properties...the caps lock behaviour is not properly set in this situation. I find that if I start off with colemak as the default and switch to a standard layout using the applet then the colemak caps lock behaviour (as backspace) persists. If however I start off with a standard layout and switch to colemak I get the strange bug where the caps lock key is both caps lock and backspace at the same time.

Re: [Bug 188308] Re: colemak is broken
Ubuntu 8.10 alpha 4. Colemak is not in the keymaps list at the livecd main menu (hit F4). Colemak can be selected from the layouts under language - english. To make backspace repeat properly, type: xset r 66 If you switch to qwerty, it turns the caps toggle back on and breaks the layout for that session. Logging out and back in does nothing but turns backspace repeat off again. Again, the only proper solution to this problem is to remove the awesome backspace from the colemak layout file and implement it properly as a caps lock key behavior. That sounds like a feature, but would primarily be a bugfix. At any time, if the layout is colemak, it will be in working condition with the following two commands: xmodmap -e remove lock = Caps_Lock xset r 66 It is recommended that until this bug is fixed, those commands be added to a startup script of some sort as a workaround. -- colemak is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188308 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Alright, you can turn caps off with one line of text, but I forgot what it was. My backspace is working great, and probably will continue until i restart this machine.
