** Description changed: [Impact] The latin keyboard map lacks functionality to do dead_hook and dead_horn characters, which makes it inconvenient to type Vietnamese characters. [Development Fix] Patch from reporter was accepted upstream, and included in precise as a cherrypick of what went up. [Stable Fix] We're carrying the same xkeyboard-config in both quantal and precise currently, so can carry the same patch both places. [Test Case] - 1. Set keyboard map to latin - 2. Type the 3rd and 4th level on the j key + 1. In System Settings, go to Keyboard Layout + 2. Select Layouts + 3. Press the '+' to add a layout + 4. Type 'Maori' (or other layout that imports Latin) + 5. In Options, make sure you have 'Key to choose 3rd level' selected (e.g. set to Right Windows key) + 6. Hold your configured 3rd level key (e.g. Right Windows key) + 7. Press j Broken Behavior: No character printed Fixed Behavior: 3rd level places a hook under characters, 4th puts a horn on top. [Regression Potential] None expected, this adds functionality to previously unused keys. Possibly some people have locally mapped j to other key behaviors, but seems unlikely, and they can just as easily locally re-map it again if they prefer. [Original Report] Because I occasionally type in Vietnamese, but not with sufficient frequency to learn a completely different keyboard layout, I find it most useful to add dead_hook and dead_horn to the latin keyboard layout (as imported from the Maori layout). I had thought this a minor enough issue to just leave the patch on my own system but it got overwritten last time I did a distribution upgrade. The added deadkeys are on level 3 and 4 of the J key, which were previously unused.
