[Bug 382473] Re: right-alt key not working after changing keyboard layout change key to both alt keys together
there are many bugs about a not working right alt key. and there are many bugs about a not working shortcut to change keyboard layout (left alt + right alt). as far as i can tell fixing the right alt key would also fix the keyboard layout problem. could someone with more knowledge than me in the topic please look at these bugs and generously mark as duplicate. in no particular order: bug #76901 (marked as fixed, but obviously there is a regression) bug #363363 bug #251443 bug #462249 bug #96434 bug #226676 bug #382473 bug #438520 -- right-alt key not working after changing keyboard layout change key to both alt keys together https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 382473] Re: right-alt key not working after changing keyboard layout change key to both alt keys together
Still broken in 9.10. Possibly related, I actually can't turn off Both Alt keys together, it just comes back after closing the layout options. I can enable and disable other change layout items normally. Also, selecting a key to choose 3rd level item restores the right alt. -- right-alt key not working after changing keyboard layout change key to both alt keys together https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 382473] Re: right-alt key not working after changing keyboard layout change key to both alt keys together
Correction: selecting right windows key for key to choose 3rd level causes the right alt-key to show up in shortcuts and the like as super instead of alt. -- right-alt key not working after changing keyboard layout change key to both alt keys together https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 382473] Re: right-alt key not working after changing keyboard layout change key to both alt keys together
It's a setting in the keyboard layout. The issue is that the right alt is being mapped for 3rd level characters despite the fact that there are no 3rd level keys in the US. I still think it's a bug, but here's the fix for KDE: goto System Settings Regional Lang Keyboard Layout Under 'Layouts' Enable 'Keyboard Layouts' goto 'Advanced' tab open 'Key to choose 3rd level' Uncheck everything except 'Right Alt key never chooses third level' There's some other interesting settings in there too - useful for customization nuts. I imagine the setting is similar in Gnome.

Sorry, the fix does not work for me! I'm under GNOME by the way... but the procedure is the same. Does not work with French nor German nor US keyboard.

[Bug 382473] Re: right-alt key not working after changing keyboard layout change key to both alt keys together
Same problem with a fresh Karmic Koala installation: right Alt key has no effect. VERY annoying as I'm typing French and German and I need special characters. I once tried to set the keyboard layout change key to both alt keys together - but I don't know exactly if that's what triggered the bug to appear. On a fresh install right alt was ok, the bug appeared after some days. The fix in comment #1 did NOT work for me, I'm left with a not-working right-alt key :-( -- right-alt key not working after changing keyboard layout change key to both alt keys together https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/382473 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
