Doug Kelly: I tried your solution, but it does not seem to work for me on my fresh Lucid install.
Just tried something else: First layout indian, second Qwerty and then started a ping from the second layout. I could not figure out how to quit the ping (except 'killall ping'), since all my ctrl-c keystrokes printed indian characters. That cannot be useful under any circumstances it seems to me. There are bug reports about this problem existing for other gtk apps as well, but I have not been able to reproduce the problem anywhere else besides gnome-terminal. Anyone knows another app? E.g. similar, more general bug report: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599894 And a later report that the fix for the above causes the symptons we see: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602137 It is not clear to me whether this is indeed the same issue or just the same symptoms. I cannot imagine that this is the intended behavior, for one because now it is different between gnome-terminal and xterm. But if it is, it should be more clearly documented. It is not intuitive that if you add a new layout that whether the ctrl- key mappings change depends on the order of the layouts. ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #599894 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=599894 ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #602137 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=602137 -- gnome-terminal ignores current keyboard layout for ctrl+key shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204202 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
