Title:
gnome keyboard settings panel enforces single iso-level3-shift key
Status in gnome-control-center package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Bug description:
My Unicomp has a right windows key and alt key in swapped positions,
so I configured right windows key to act as a second Alt_R (well
ISO_Level3_Shift), using gnome-tweaks, leading to:
/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
['caps:none', 'lv3:rwin_switch']
Opening the keyboard page in gnome settings resets this to
/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
['caps:none', 'lv3:ralt_alt', 'lv3:rwin_switch']
Effectively disabling the Alt Gr (right alt key) from acting as level
3 shift.
Enabling right alt explicitly is not better. That sets
/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
['caps:none', 'lv3:ralt_switch', 'lv3:rwin_switch']
and opening the keyboard panel then just deletes the windows key
switch:
/org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options
['caps:none', 'lv3:ralt_switch']
Not sure if it's a regression, but it's problematic anyway.
