[Bug 1277641] Re: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key
Several years ago the basic German XKB layout was modified in that the dead_tilde symbol was changed to asciitilde (i.e. not dead). They added a German (legacy) layout which changes back asciitilde to dead_tilde. German (legacy) has in 18.04 been name changed to German (deadtilde). So yes Stéphane, with that name change you no longer get the impression that the layout will disappear soon. This is not a gnome-control-center issue at all, so closing. ** Changed in: gnome-control-center (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277641 Title: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1277641/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1277641] Re: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key
For anyone affected in 18.04, I have found in "Settings > Language and Region > Input Sources > + > ... > Other" the layout "German (dead tilde)". This fixes my issue, and I wonder if this is the solution previous posters here were hoping for: the default German layout with only the tilde key behaviour modified. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277641 Title: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1277641/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I also lost my deadkeys on German(Switzerland) and French(Switzerland) keyboard layouts after upgrading from 14.04 to 16.04. Setting the keyboard input method to "IBus" (and logout/login?) restored the deadkeys.

Same here, German (legacy) solved my problem. But it's not a nice solution. Imagine having this problem w/o internet connection or w/o knowing some helpful search keywords like 'tilde' or 'dead keys'. Most of such users will probably not manage to find out that switching to the legacy-layout solves their problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277641 Title: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1277641/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 1277641] Re: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key
With the upgrade to 15.10 the dead key of ~ (and thus the possibility of writing ñ) stopped to work for me. Switching to german legacy as described here solved the issue for now. But for me it would be extremely annoying if this layout is removed without any sane solution. (editing keymaps is no sane solution) IMHO ñ should work out of the box as it used to be, I guess there are quite a lot of people who would like to write in spanish/portuguese additionally to their own language. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277641 Title: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1277641/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1277641] Re: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key
A much nicer, general solution would be to be able to select which keys should be dead and which should not - in OPTIONS - instead of having to choose a different layout. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277641 Title: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1277641/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1277641] Re: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key
Changing to legacy layout has some drawbacks, e.g. less assigned symbols. Since I can enter most symbols easily (such as 'ø' and 'ç', as described in https://wiki.ubuntuusers.de/Sonderzeichen) with the standard keyboard layout I found another solution that works fine for me to be able to type 'ñ', too: remove the key binding for the right "windows" key (if set so, that's the case in cinnamon) and activate the compose key in keyboard options (as described in https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey). To type 'ñ', I now type [right windows key](release), [AltGr/right alt]+[+](release, nothing is displayed yet), [n](release, 'ñ' is typed). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1277641 Title: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/+bug/1277641/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1277641] Re: German keyboard layout loses tilde dead key
Sorry for posting multiple times. But at least for those searching for a
solution, it might be helpful to learn about the different
solutions/workarounds:
If you're altogether happy with the default german keyboard layout and just
need to be able to type ñ/Ñ, you might consider modifying the german keymap
file as described in http://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?f=18=203076 ,
George999's post
(you should know know how to use a terminal and sudo, though):
comment out the bindings for key (on my system it was line 43) by
preceding the line with '#' and add the line
key { [ n, N, ntilde, Ntilde
] };
there. Then delete the precompiled keymaps (rm /var/lib/xkb/*.xkm) and restart
the PC (or X). After that, AltGr+n/N types ñ/Ñ. Very intuitive, and I don't
miss the characters originally bound to AltGr-n/N.

+1 German (legacy) brings back the dead key function for now, but I agree with umehlig.

I understand that people who do not write texts with ã, ñ etc. rather like to type ~ directly, e.g., in path names or LaTeX source. However, transferring the ~ dead key to a legacy keyboard layout (14.04 release) gives the impression that the option to use ~ as an accent will be removed completely in the future -- and that should not happen!
