[Bug 531173] Re: New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout
This problem has popped up over and over again with almost every Ubuntu release. It largely affects people who deal with a number of languages using the Latin character set, but are used to the US keyboard. I think there may be other variant keyboards for which subscripts would be useful, but I'm not sure. This is a convention adopted in MS-Windows many years ago. BTW I created the first US-International keyboard layout for MS-Windows in 1987, and it soon needed to be expanded. It's pretty hard to devise a layout of that sort to handle ALL the European languages without making its use very cumbersome - that's why there are 3 or 4 variants other than the standard US keyboard. It's necessary for the user to know which one has been selected. The trick of enabling a popup showing the layout by right-clicking on the icon works, but it takes up screen space, which for example is limited in the first place on a netbook. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531173 Title: New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 531173] Re: New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout
Showing the selected keyboard layout with a popup is a serious usability regression from the previous behavior - instead of simply looking up to verify that you switched to the correct layout, you'd have to move your mouse over to a small area (and not even in a corner so Fitt's law does not apply); and worse - you'd have to click the small target? That basically means that the operation of changing the layout and verifying that it is what you want - that multi-lingual people do many times in the course of writing a single document - goes from about 0.5 a second to 15 or even 20 seconds! Note: all this is fine, and you know what - its even fine for Ubuntu developers to ignore it (it is open source after all, I'm sure they'll apply a patch I send to fix this), but the thing is - as it is documented on several other gnome-settings-daemon bugs - the keyboard layout indicator support isn't working either! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-settings-daemon in ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/531173 Title: New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
[Bug 531173] Re: New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout
Ping for developers - this is still a problem in Natty. I understand that Ubuntu may not be interested in supporting non- indicator behavior, but the problem is caused by the indicator support patch developed by Ubuntu developers and it seriously hurts multi- language Ubuntu users that choose to stop using the default indicator applet - so I think the people causing the problem have a moral obligation to make sure their changes do not cause regressions with existing uses. As a further note - the GNOME decision not to include the indicator support patch in their upstream simply on the basis that GNOME does not ship the indicator applet is arrogant and annoying, but even otherwise they would have probably not accepted the patch anyway if it causes regressions.

The problem I have in comment #19 may not be the same problem as the bug that was reported: with the session indicator applet, the keyboard session indicator shows both the keyboard layout and the keyboard icon (also bad, if you ask me, as it means it takes even more space in the crowded panel).

[Bug 531173] Re: New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout
Karmic, up through any current updates, uses icons with numeric subscripts indicating variants of the basic keyboards for a language. Eliminating that feature (actually in a redesigned program) is a definite regression. By the way, I designed the original US-International layout for Windows 2.11 in 1987, for Olivetti and Microsoft. This was redesigned the next year for Windows 3.0, with the advice of a Nokia engineer, to provide Nordic language support. Visually indicating variant keyboard selections has been an issue ever since. Recent XP versions use one icon or other indicator to indicate the base language, and another to show variants, when more than one variant is enabled. Also XP provides a keyboard switching option something like control- shift+number key to select various layouts, instead of toggling or cycling through the enabled combinations. It's too easy otherwise to enable the wrong keyboard, without the icon showing definitely which layout is being used - this leads to confusion and typos. There is a KDE keyboard indicator program, which I haven't tried - it apparently has user-configurable icons.

[Bug 531173] Re: New Lucid keyboard layout indicator does not indicate current layout
I just subscribed to this bug because I just noticed the behavior in the keyboard indicator - it no longer displays different icons for variants of the same country layout, as for USA, USA1, USA2. This change must have occurred in the past few weeks, as I have been using alternate US layouts for different languages for many years. Typically I have the basic USA layout and a couple of different alternate USA layouts, switching to the basic one when I'm typing in English. On some systems, you can set up the scroll lock LED to show alternate layouts, but that's not of great use when there are 3 or more layouts set up. Also, on my Dell netbook there is no scroll lock flag in the hardware or software, so that doesn't work.

I'm sorry Oded but I disagree, I've been using the keyboard indicator applet for quite some time prior to moving to Lucid beta, and I had Fra when on my default French setting and Fra² when on my other French setting. I agree the indicator didn't say Fra (alternative) and Fra (bepo), but it did give me an indication of the fact that separate variants of the French keyboard were in use. In Karmic, and Jaunty etc. before that, clicking on the applet switched from Fra to Fra² and then to USA if I had a third layout installed. I'm 99% sure about this. I even had a bug every now and then back then where the switching pattern use to become Fra Fra² ?? ??² Fra … So it would circulate through all the available layouts regardless of language. But anyway, I think we all agree that the indicator needs to tell us about what actual layout is in use, and not just what language the layout is designed for. And if, from what I gather, the indication was supposed to be done graphically (via a country flag I suppose), there should be an option to have the basic Fra or USA letters, and not a flag.
