Bug ID: 367949
Summary: Keyboard settings - layout incorrect / can't change
Product: systemsettings
Version: 1.0
Platform: Kubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: kcm_keyboard_layout
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I've a sun 7 keyboard - the actual layout of the keyboard differs from the
layouts on offer. The reason is there are some variants that KDE doesn't
appear to know - in this case the layour insists I'v got Meta_R - Comp - Alt-GR
at the bottom left when I've actually got Alt-GR - Meta_R - Comp. The problem
is there appears to be no way to change this or change the function of the
keys.
Previously KDE had a utility that allowed me to see what key was being pressed,
allowed me to change the function of that key and allowed the layout to be
changed. Now it has the incorrect layout and a restricted set of options in
"advanced" that does not allow me to make the change I want.
What I actually want to achieve is (1) the correct layout and (2) mapping
Meta_R to CTRL_R (because there is no CTRL_R on the keyboard).
I also recall a utility that showed the keyboard, which keys were being pressed
and the keycodes which seems to have gone in favour of a static layout that
does not respond to key presses and a test area that does not respond to symbol
free keys - neither of which let me know the keycode or if Meta_R is being
mapped to Meta_R or ALT_GR (since either are possible).
Now this might seem a minor problem but I've previous mapped
