[Touch-packages] [Bug 214786] Re: Apple USB ISO keyboard has incorrectly swapped keys
Hi guys, this problem is still present in Ubuntu 18.04, Portugese Apple wired USB keyboard. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to xkeyboard-config in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/214786 Title: Apple USB ISO keyboard has incorrectly swapped keys Status in Mactel Support: Confirmed Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in xkeyboard-config package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Since upgrading kernel to version 2.6.24-12.22 two keys are now swapped on my Apple USB aluminium keyboard with danish layout. Now the keys "<" and "½" are swapped and no longer matches the actual print on the keycaps. The error is isolated to the following commit: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu- hardy.git;a=commitdiff;h=efb3031b446d441dca5b10619503ac0bba7f9748 This commit introduced a key swapping for all "ISO" type Apple keyboards. In my case this swapping is incorrect, and generally it seems like a very bad idea to perform hard coded locale specific key mapping in kernel space as this is also done several places in user space. The included patch reverts the behavior to the default that matches the keycap printing.

[Touch-packages] [Bug 1678635] [NEW] Some keys on Portuguese Apple aluminium are incorrect
Public bug reported: I use a Portuguese layout Apple aluminium keyboard on Ubuntu 16.10. While the mappings are correct for nearly all the keys, several keys are mapped incorrectly according to the legends on the keycaps: 1. the key left of z is marked as greater-than / less-than, yet when pressed yields the noncombining backtick and tilde characters. 2. The Euro symbol is shown as the alt-gr symbol on the three, yet this produces a £ sign (alt-gr E produces a Euro instead) 3. the section sign / plus-minus sign characters are shown on the key to the left of the "1", but this key produces the greater-than and less- than signs instead. I've enclosed the standard information in a zip file, plus a photo I took of the left hand side of the keyboard in case my explanations are a touch inadequate. ** Affects: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "apple-keyboard-issue.zip" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1678635/+attachment/4852790/+files/apple-keyboard-issue.zip ** Description changed: - I use a Portuguese layout Apple aluminium keyboard.
