After reading Mihai and Criti's comments I understant this better and I also think that the preferences UI should only show the comma variants instead of the cedilla ones.
So Romanian Standard (called academic in xkb) Romanian Programmers (called comma in xkb) Romanian Legacy(?) (Called winkeys in xkb) current std and default from xkb, the ones with cedillas should not be shown in the GUI IMHO. I still think the default should be Programmers because even if it does not provide the diacritics in the first level, it would cause less confusion, most keyboards here having US layout. This is best solved by upstream, it's not an Ubuntu issue, so xkeyboard-config should be told after there's some consensus what the best way to change the layout file (if at all - it may need to include keys for the diacritics used by minority languages in Ro) and then to change the gnome keyboard preferences applet as well. I took the liberty of subscribing Misu Moldovan since he was active in the past in getting the romanian layouts in xkb and probably has some insight as well. https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=371 -- Romanian keyboard layout has incorrect characters https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/108057 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
