In Ubuntu 14.04 Trusty the same problem remains with the french (alternate) = français (variante) keyboard layout. (This layout is for me the best of all french layouts, and it is the one selected by default when installing Ubuntu.)
But now, "thanks" to the gnome simplying of interfaces we now no longer have access to the optionnal settings of the keyboard layout ! To have access to these settings, install gnome-tweak-tool, you will find them under the "typing" section. However gnome-tweak-tool doesn't work too good in 14.04 (background is transparent !) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188342 Title: keymap fr/oss: numpad '.' mapped to period instead of KP_Decimal Status in central project for keyboard configuration: Fix Released Status in Ubuntu: Invalid Status in “xkeyboard-config” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: xserver-xorg-input-kbd In Ubuntu 7.10, xserver-xorg-input-kbd_1.2.0-1+1.2.1ubuntu1 with the following Xorg.conf settings: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "pc105" Option "XkbLayout" "fr" Option "XkbVariant" "oss" EndSection Got: $ xmodmap -pke | grep 'keycode *91' keycode 91 = KP_Delete period comma U202F comma U202F Expected: $ xmodmap -pke | grep 'keycode *91' keycode 91 = KP_Delete KP_Decimal comma U202F comma U202F This issue is a MAJOR usability issue in OpenOffice.org Calc, as in the current state Calc is unusable to enter decimal numbers quickly.
