[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 251443]
I assume it's relatively well known, but here's where I landed. My plan to fix this, was to bypass XKM support completely, by integrating the parser into the server. Currently the server forks xkbcomp to build a particular keymap, xkbcomp produces (lossy) XKM files, and then the server consumes XKM. xkbcommon was supposed to fix this (hence the name), but the problem is that the server wants very different things from xkbcommon than everyone else. Specifically, it wants to be able to mutate arbitrary parts of the keymap after construction, which is very messy. Ultimately we just kept xkbcommon for everyone _but_ the X server, with a much smaller API. The best thing to do for anyone who wants to pick this up is probably to look at importing xkbcommon circa https://github.com/xkbcommon/libxkbcommon/commit/ed18e65eacdabfeaeafee7c369891312af99c82d into the X server, in place of the xkbcomp entrypoint in xkb/ddxLoad.c. That particular commit is probably the most tractable balance between an actual functional xkbcommon without memory leaks, and one which hasn't changed the server-facing API and internals _too_ far away from what the server needs. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251443 Title: [Needs xkb protocol rework] keyboard layout switching shortcuts like Alt+Alt do not work anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/251443/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 1013881]
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-X, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in 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 ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

Unfortunately we can't fix this for anything that uses XKM, since it would be a format break to do so. What we _can_ do is to more aggressively deprecate the use of XKM, which means having the server use xkbcommon (which I'm working on, more or less) in particular. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xorg-server in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/251443 Title: [Needs xkb protocol rework] keyboard layout switching shortcuts like Alt+Alt do not work anymore To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xorg-server/+bug/251443/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
