Package: console-setup
Version: 1.240
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
When freshly installing Debian 13, I have configured it to use
Lithuanian keymap at startup. A secondary US keymap was also configured
for me by default.
The Lithuanian keymap is similar to the US keymap, but replaces the
characters in the top row with accented Lithuanian letters, moving
digits to level 3 (AltGr) and special characters to level 4
(AltGr+Shift).
When I tried using text terminal yesterday, I noticed that Level 4 tends
to lock if I don't pay close attention to how I use it. For example, to
enter &&, I need to use level 4. So if I enter it by pressing AltGr,
then Shift, then pressing and releasing key 7 (twice), then releasing
Shift, then releasing AltGr, all seems fine.
However, if I release AltGr before Shift (as I normally do), Level 4
remains in effect, and I couldn't find a way to get out of it other than
pressing ^C to cancel the command I was typing and logging out of the
affected console by pressing ^D.
I believe this might be considered an important/major bug, because it
impedes console usage in a major way and is probably not configurable
separately from the X11/Wayland keymap, which is all done as a part of
the normal setup experience.
Cheers,
Rimas
