I Totally agree ...

So this bug still bites. Ohwell, she doesn't use the terminal all too much, but I've taught her CTRL+C closes her while true: python programs, so I can't really just change it to CTRL+I, because that's wrong and won't work on another computer.

RE: [Bug 174832] Re: ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bashwith a french keyboard
That's correct, removing all layouts except the one that you want to use works. This solved the problem.

Behaviour: In gnome-terminal, before I could start typing a command and then cancel it by pressing Ctrl+I on a qwerty keyboard. That is Ctrl+C on a dvorak. Suddenly I could not. In fact all Ctrl+whatever did not work in gnome- terminal. But they did in openoffice, firefox etc. After some head scratching and googling I found some hints saying it helped to delete the US layout. Made me think about that I recently had updated my keyboard configuration file (http://arno.homelinux.org/dvorak/), and to make xkb take it into consideration I usually 0) Copy the xkb file into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ 1) Open keyboard preferences and delete the dvorak layout 2) Open keyboard preferences and add the dvorak layout again Now I can type my updated keyboard. -But this time the US Ctrl keys are in effect no matter what I try, even when choosing the dvorak layout. MY SOLUTION: --- 1) Open keyboard preferences and delete all but the dvorak layout 2) Add the layouts again. 3) Enjoy. --- To me this is STILL A BUG, since now when I select US keyboard, I have to press Ctrl+I to get a Ctrl+C. In other words, dvorak rules the Ctrl- key. However since I never use anything but my custom layout I'm not very much affected... When thinking about it, I probably never saw this bug before because I chose Norway dvorak during the install process. It is actually the system default layout, to my cow-orkers' despair. ;) I'm writing this long story to remember it myself, maybe it will help you too. -- ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bash with a french keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174832 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bash with a french keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174832 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
RE : [Bug 174832] Re: ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bashwith a french keyboard
Hi Dieter, thanks for this explanation. I understand now. I fixed this issue by removing the English layout, so with the french layout, there is no problem now. I think that this issue can be fixed by adding an option somewhere to select the behaviour. Something like: +-+ | Select the behaviour of shortcuts: | | (o) use default layout shortcuts | | ( ) use selected layout shortcuts | +-+ Do you think you can escalate this proposal to the decision team?

Some users like to keep the shorctuts of the first layout when they switch to the second, while others like to have their shortcuts in the other layout too. Currently it seems like Gtk is hardcoded for the first group of people. The 2nd group of people can't do much. (This becomes really confusing because only gtk apps do this!) See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=162726, where this issue is being discussed for more then 3.5 years now, and there still isn't a viable solution. -- ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bash with a french keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174832 You received this bug notification because you are a direct subscriber of the bug. -- ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bash with a french keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174832 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs

[Bug 174832] ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bash with a french keyboard
Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gnome-terminal Hi, I'm using ubuntu 7.10 in english (us) language, but with a french keyboard layout. When I open gnome-terminal, all the bash shortcuts are not bound to the french layout. For example the shortcut to go at the beginning of the line: when I type CTRL+a nothing happens whereas CTRL+q works fine. It's the same for all shortcuts. I guess gnome-terminal is only checking the language and not the keyboard layout settings ...
