(In reply to comment #60) > Gentlemen, I am really stuck at that point. Allow me to sum it up.
- Nicolas is the sole advocate of having Control_R mapped to Level5. - The rest of us want to go back to having both left and right Control behaving the same way. I'm not quite sure how you want us to organize a vote or poll. French Linux users (just like non-French ones) use a variety of distributions (which, BTW, may not ship the changed version of xkeyboard-config), and may not even all use a French keyboard (I'd say roughly half of my Linux-using friends and coworkers are using US qwerty layouts or mac layouts). Since apparently no hardware maker is following ISO standards, may I suggest creating new layouts such as "oss-iso" with Nicolas' changes? As one of Gentoo's X11 maintainers, I am really tempted to just revert that change downstream. The few French users I have talked to were just as surprised as I was to lose their Control_R key for no apparent reason. I could organize a poll on my blog but being aggregated only on Planet Gentoo, I wouldn't give much credit to any numbers I could find. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to rhythmbox in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221112 Title: Can't use space bar in search bar when using french alternative keyboard Status in libgnomekbd: Confirmed Status in Listen, a Music player and management: Confirmed Status in Quod Libet is a GTK+-based audio player written in Python.: Unknown Status in The Rhythmbox Music Management Application: Confirmed Status in SciTE - A free source code editor for Win32 and X: New Status in central project for keyboard configuration: Confirmed Status in “quodlibet” package in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “rhythmbox” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xkeyboard-config” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in “xkeyboard-config” source package in Precise: Triaged Bug description: [Impact] In the fr(oss) keymap, both space and Ctrl + space return the same XLookupString, which prevents space from being used in some applications. This had been fixed in lucid and maverick, but the patch appears to have been misplaced during the (rather major) update from 1.8 to 2.1, thus the reports of it regressing in comments #135 and #141, as well as dupe bug #938671. [Development Fix] Patch 128_fix_oss_ctrl_space_accelerator.patch fixed this problem in lucid and maverick, but was dropped in natty when we updated to upstream xkeyboard-config 2.1. However, the patch was also sent upstream and accepted there. So for quantal a cherrypick of that commit was backported. [Stable Fix] Since currently quantal is shipping the same xkeyboard-config version as precise, we can carry the same patch there as well. [Test Case] 1. Set keyboard to fr(oss). (Note due to unrelated bug, you need to do this in your /etc/defaults/keyboard config file.) 2. Start rhythmbox 3. Do a song search 4. Type in a search term that includes a space character Broken Behavior: Space triggers the play/pause function in rhythmbox Fixed Behavior: A space character is inserted [Regression Potential] The patch is one we carried in lucid and maverick (when rhythmbox was the default music player IIRC), and has been upstream for a while. So I think it is a safe change. Actually, I'm surprised there have not been more complaints about it lately. But during the interim we'd switched to banshee so perhaps users didn't notice it. [Original Report] I tried to search for "The Do" in the search bar, but the space bar didn't write a space. Instead, it played the currently selected song (space is the shortcut for playing/pausing the song). I've just installed the last Hardy release candidate.
