Steps would be: 1. Switch to Dvorak keyboard layout from QUERTY using configured short cut (System -> Preferences -> Keyboard -> Layout) 2. Key in text to gnome-terminal application and you can see it follows Dvorak layout 3. Intent to press any control key, say, Ctrl-U so that it kills till the start of line in BASH. I.e. In a QUERTY physical layout keyboard you'd have to press Ctrl-F to send Ctrl-U since you're in Dvorak layout. But gnome-terminal still reads it as Ctrl-F (instead of the intended Ctrl-U) and moves the cursor forward. I.e. gnome-terminal let's you key in normal and meta characters in Dvorak layout, but not control keys.
This seems to work OK with other applications that I checked, say, Firefox. For example, to open a new tab (Ctrl-T) it accepts Ctrl-K in QUERTY physical key. Hope I made it clearer. (I don't mean to sound blunt - I could see that Adam Collard (presumably a team member) confirmed this bug. How come did it suddenly turn _unclear_ ?) -- Control characters don't swich even after changing keyboard layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/626852 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-terminal in ubuntu. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
