[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 575978] Re: Wrong keys in icelandic keyboard layout

[Launchpad Bug Tracker]

This bug was fixed in the package xkeyboard-config - 2.16-1ubuntu1

---
xkeyboard-config (2.16-1ubuntu1) xenial; urgency=medium

  * Merge with Debian (LP: #1536385, #575978), remaining changes:
- control, rules, xkb-data-i18n.install, xkb-data.install: Split out
  xkb-data-i18n to be used by console-setup.
- xkb-data.postinst.in: Remove the xkb cache to make sure it gets
  regenerated.
  * Drop 105_intelligent_keyboard.patch, never made upstream and seems to
be redundant by now anyway.

Forwarding this (stalled) bug from Ubuntu:
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/575978

[Original Report]
The Icelandic keyboard layout currently has a key with a degree sign (°) and an 
umlaut/diaeresis sign (¨). The normal function of this key appears to be to 
compose with the next character to form å or ä, but in Ubuntu (up to and 
including 10.04 - Lucid Lynx) the key produces the abovementioned signs by 
themselves.

Line 26 in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/is reads

key TLDE { [ degree, diaeresis, notsign, notsign ] };

Changing this to

key TLDE { [ dead_abovering, dead_diaeresis, notsign, notsign ] };

Appears to fix the problem.

Reasonable image of an Icelandic keyboard is:
http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:KB_Iceland.svg

[Discussion]
The main question is: Do either of these key symbols have separate use in 
Icelandic?  Perhaps as a degree symbol for temperatures, but that's hardly 
unique to Icelandic, and other keyboards don't have such a key for that symbol 
(at least, standard US keyboards don't).

I found a virtual keyboard at
http://mylanguages.org/icelandic_keyboard.php, where this key does in
fact work as a deadkey for producing åůäüïöëÿ.  (other letters result in
just the ° or ¨ printed).

@Simos, maybe forward this bug upstream anyway to get some more
attention to it, given that there hasn't been a reply from original
reporter in some months.

The SVG image is helpful, though we need a bit more to make into changes that 
will get committed quickly.
The SVG image was created my users without citing some sources. I believe that 
some intensive googling should reveal an official document on the layout.

If you see http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/tree/symbols/is
there are two e-mails of people who helped with the initial layout. The date of 
the basic layout is at least 2004, perhaps older.
If you can find either of these two people to give input, it would help 
tremendously.

[Simos Xenitellis]

Thanks for the report. According to the 'is' file, you can get
'dead_diairesis' if you press

AltGr + [

and 'dead_abovering' with

AltGr + {

I am not familiar with the standard Icelandic keyboard layout; is the case that 
you describe the typical keyboard layout that a user expects to find?
In addition, do 'degree' and 'diaeresis' have a use at all in Icelandic?

If you can provide info towards the standard layout that is expected for
Iceland, we can create a patch and submit to the xkeyboard-config
project for inclusion.

There is an small error in the path,kbd should be xkb:
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/is

This fix works for me in Ubuntu 10.04.
