Text file laying out key effects of an Apple Aluminium ISO keyboard under
French Canadian - CSA layout on macOS 10.14
SUMMARY
***
I am using an Apple Aluminium keyboard (ISO) with a Kubuntu 22.04.3 LTS install
and using the French(Canada) International layout variant. Just the preview has
problems: Meta and Alt are both on Alt and the actual Meta keys do not respond
and are not assigned (on the preview - they still work as meta keys for certain
purposes). Additionally, the right and left modifier keys are not considered
equivalent (right alt is designated as ISO level 3 shift, right Control as ISO
level 5 etc. despite both sides being symmetrical in use on macOS). The
mappings for the Apple Aluminium (ISO) layout should match the mappings for the
layout as used in macOS.
***
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have an Apple Aluminium ISO keyboard connected.
2. Set up a shortcut which works under "generic" keyboards and ensure it works.
3. Switch the keyboard model to Apple Aluminium (ISO).
OBSERVED RESULT
It is no longer possible to use shortcuts, even if they are assigned again
using the new keyboard properties. Several tertiary and quaternary characters
("`", "ß", "§") require pressing one side of the keyboard or different keys of
the keyboard than on macOS ("`" requires using right alt instead of [], "ß"
requires using right control instead of [], "§" requires using right control +
(any)Shift instead of []).
EXPECTED RESULT
All key inputs (not input results, so alt+s should do option+s = ß with French
Canadian CSA for instance) behave as expected from how they are labeled and the
events they trigger.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kubuntu 22.04.3 LTS? (Not sure what to put here.)
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.7
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.92.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
N.B: This may be current for any number of Apple keyboard models, I
unfortunately cannot test them.
Attached is a .txt running through all the keys of my Apple Aluminium ISO
keyboard and their effects with various modifier keys pressed on macOS 10.14.
