Status in “xkeyboard-config” source package in Ubuntu: Triaged
Bug description:
On a German PC keyboard, usually square brackets are produced as follows:
AltGr + 8: squared bracket open
AltGr + 9: squared bracket close.
MacBooks Pros have no printed indication on the keys how to produce square
brackets (AFAIK this goes for all models), so I assumed you could produce them
the PC way.
I assumed that the key second right to the space key (= the one left from the
LeftArrow key - you can see this nicely on
http://www.oliverherrmann.com/stuff/mbp/MBP02.jpg) would have the function of
the "AltGr" key you know from PCs. However, when I press this key whose name I
don't know, plus "8" or "9", I get no square brackets. Instead, this key works
as "Return" key.
This goes for Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4, fully updated. Ubuntu installed, then System
-> Prefrences -> Keyboard -> "MacBook / MacBook Pro (Intel)". The MacBook Pro
is a rev. 3 one.
