Re: AW: 'de' keyboard layout issues (Re: AW: AW: AltGr key mostly fires an additional CONTROL key)
On 12/08/2011 07:48, Paul Maier wrote: 1. Tilde sign - Tilde sign (~) should be a normal (not a blind) key. In Windows I hit AltGr++ to get ~, in XWin I need to type AltGr++ then space to get a ~. See attachment for the initial XWin xmodmap -pke table. Possible xmodmap correction (works fine): keycode 35 = plus asterisk plus asterisk asciitilde This is a can of worms I don't want to open :-) In case it wasn't clear, the can of worms here is ensuring that XWin selects a keyboard layout which matches the Windows one in all cases. At the moment, in the 'de' layout, the tilde deadkey will add a macron diacritic, e.g. AltGr + + + a = ã. Obviously I meant to write 'tilde diacritic' here :-) I really lack the expertise to determine if this is a bug in xkeyboard-config (if this german keyboard behavior is something no german keyboard user would ever expect or want) The xkb configurations we use come from the xkeyboard-config project, and aren't trying to be identical to Windows, but to conform to the appropriate national standards and user expectations. However, I can see in the case of XWin this is problematic, as it will be confusing to switch between X and normal Windows windows which have different keyboard behavior. I did some research: German computer keyboard layout is defined in DIN 2137-2. And to my surprise I found, that tilde is a dead key there. That means, that the xkeyboard-config project perfectly matches the DIN norm, while Windows (where the key is not dead) does not match it. So I understand, that you may want to stick to the DIN norm. Usability comes before standards compliance :-) A workaround for guys like me, who want the XWin keyboard work the same like Windows, is possible with xmodmap, so yeah ... let's close this point. Doing some more research, I found an upstream bug [1], which seems to make the opposite claim about DIN 2137-2(1998) I also discovered that the nodeadkeys variant of the de layout was at one stage the default used by XWin when a German Windows keyboard layout was reported [2] Maybe the 'correct' solution is possibly to create a 'nodeadtilde' variant of the de layout in xkeyboard-config, and then to arrange for that to be the default used by XWin when Windows reports a German keyboard layout. Perhaps you'd like to try the attached patch to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de, which adds a nodeadtilde variant, which you can then select with -xkbvariant nodeadtilde. Or perhaps the correct solution is to use one of the existing deadgraveacute or deadacute variants as the XWin default when Windows reports a German keyboard layout? [1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9752 [2] http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin-xfree/2003-05/msg00495.html Hi Jon, thanks for your work. I myself have made 2 patches and include them in this mail: - One patch for files /usr/share/x11/locale/iso8859-1/Compose and /usr/share/x11/locale/iso8859-15/Compose. - My patch for the de file: de.patch.patch patches your patch, whereas de.patch is the same thing patching the original de file. Here is the explanation (I'm referring to the original pargraph numbering): 1. Tilde sign - Yes, file de patched with your de.patch and XWin invoked with -xkbvariant nodeadtilde results in a German Windows keyboard (regarding the tilde). I did just a renaming of the Group description there to match the pattern of the other xkbvariants. I'd really appreciate it if you could re-open the upstream bug [1] for the tilde issue, ideally with a suitable patch and referencing this discussion. I'd also suggest you send your other suggested changes to the xkb list [2], as I'm not really qualified to review them. [1] https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9752 [2] http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig/Development 3. Non breaking space (NBSP) on ALT+space - In my patch I provide a xkbvariant windowscompatible, that puts nobreakspace onto Alt+Space, like Windows has it. Furthermore, I added a line to the default German layout. It doesn't change the behaviour of the space key with shift, Alt, AltGr, but (and that's the reason why I've put it there), it makes the space key xmodmap redefinable in regard to the Alt key. Without that patch the key definition has not enough numbers of layers, resulting in that xmodmap discards a change of AltGr layer of space. It looks like the mysterious voodoo to achieve this is adding '-xkboptions nbsp:level3' Perhaps that should be set by XWin by default if that is how Windows behaves for all keyboard layouts (so that we don't get different behavior between XWin windows and other Windows applications) 5. New dead acute issue --- Sorry to say, I found another difference while testing. This is, what the Compose.patch is for. In Windows, all blind keys followed by a space result in that character. Same
considering modifier keys after gaining focus
Hi,
I had the problem, that the state of the modifier keys was lost when a
window is created (or raised).
Example: in window A Ctrl + some key opens a window B, then in window B
Ctrl + some other key triggers the next action. However after the
opening of window B the Ctrl key has to be released and pressed again.
If the user keeps the Ctrl key holding when the window B is opened, the
next key press X will be interpreted as X and not as Ctrl+X.
I send a patch to fix this problem with this email: I just extended the
function winRestoreModeKeyStates in winkeybd.c to consider not only the
mode switch key but also the modifiers Ctrl, Shift, Alt/AltGr by using
the Windows function GetAsyncKeyState.
This patch works fine for me.
However one problem is unsolved: if the key combination for opening
window B (in the above example) is an AltGr key combination, the
GetAsyncKeyState will also report, that the Ctrl key is pressed, which
is not true, since this is the well known Windows fake Ctrl_L :-(
Any suggestions how to solve this?
Best regards,
Oliver
