Public bug reported:
My Unicomp has a right windows key and alt key in swapped positions, so
I configured right windows key to act as a second Alt_R (well
ISO_Level3_Shift), using gnome-tweaks, leading to:
/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
['caps:none', 'lv3:rwin_switch']
Opening the keyboard page in gnome settings resets this to
/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
['caps:none', 'lv3:ralt_alt', 'lv3:rwin_switch']
Effectively disabling the Alt Gr (right alt key) from acting as level 3
shift.
Enabling right alt explicitly is not better. That sets
/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
['caps:none', 'lv3:ralt_switch', 'lv3:rwin_switch']
and opening the keyboard panel then just deletes the windows key switch:
/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
['caps:none', 'lv3:ralt_switch']
Not sure if it's a regression, but it's problematic anyway.
** Affects: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Summary changed:
- gnome keyboard settings always set lv3:ralt_alt xkb option when
lv3:rwin_switch is set
+ gnome keyboard settings enforces single iso-level3-shift key
** Summary changed:
- gnome keyboard settings enforces single iso-level3-shift key
+ gnome keyboard settings panel enforces single iso-level3-shift key
