Nearly two years after this bug has been opened, the problem is not completely fixed: the Breton keyboard is still using the private use characters UF8FD, UF8FE, UF8FF, UF8FA, UF8FB and UF8FC and six lines, such as UF8FD : "c’h" UF8FE : "C’h" UF8FF : "C’H" UF8FA : "ch" UF8FB : "Ch" UF8FC : "CH" must be added manually in the file ~/.XCompose for the keyboard to work correctly.
Wouldn't it be possible to make six new keysyms for those trigraphs and digraphs ? If the keysyms trigraph_c_h, trigraph_C_h, trigraph_C_H, digraph_ch, digraph_Ch and digraph_CH were available, it would be possible to add trigraph_c_h : "c’h" trigraph_C_h : "C’h" trigraph_C_H : "C’H" digraph_ch : "ch" digraph_Ch : "Ch" digraph_CH : "CH" in the /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose file and the bug would be fixed. Instead of trigraph_c_h, trigraph_C_h, trigraph_C_H, digraph_ch, digraph_Ch and digraph_CH, you could use the names c_h, C_h, C_H, ch, Ch and CH (I think they aren't used yet). In this case, the six lines to add in the file in the /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose would be c_h : "c’h" C_h : "C’h" C_H : "C’H" ch : "ch" Ch : "Ch" CH : "CH" -- 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/315740 Title: Breton keyboard layout C'HWERTY not supported To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/xkeyboard-config/+bug/315740/+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
