[Bug 174832] Re: ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bash with a french keyboard
See #16 at https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome- terminal/+bug/204202 This bug is still present in Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and is not linked to a particular keyboard layout or a particular keyboard shortcut. However it only affects Gnome Terminal and no other GTK or Gnome app. What happens is that when using a different keyboard layout than the default one (defined in Keyboard Preferences), Gnome Terminal will ignore this setting **for keyboard shortcuts**, and always assume you're typing them using the default layout. So if your default layout is US English, and that you are currently using a Dvorak US one, you will have to type keyboard shortcuts **as if you were using the non-Dvorak layout**, which is a real pain in the neck. ** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete = Confirmed ** Summary changed: - ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bash with a french keyboard + ubuntu gnome-terminal - ignores current keyboard layout for shortcuts -- ubuntu gnome-terminal - ignores current keyboard layout for shortcuts https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/174832 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 174832] Re: ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bash with a french keyboard
I had a similar problem, not with french but with dvorak layout: SOLUTION IN UBUNTU JAUNTY I too suddenly got this strange behaviour, but it used to work before. 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 member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 174832] Re: ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bash with a french keyboard
*SOLVED* I had a similar problem with a brand new install of Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) with a French keyboard. At the first boot, the keyboard mapping was US. I simply used the gnome- keyboard-properties application to add a French layout and make it the default. At this point, I had two keyboard layouts defined in this app, the US (not used) and the French (default). However, I observed that in gnome-terminal and some other gtk apps; the emacs line editing command was still obeying the US layout (e.g., to send the cursor to the beginning of the line, Ctrl-A didn't work, I had to hit Ctrl-Q, because Q and A are switched between the French and US layout). So this was the same problem as Oli44 (and other posters). Solution: using gnome-keyboard-properties, I deleted the US layout. Now the gnome-terminal line editing works normally. This is still a bug in gtk, however. -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Your proposal is pretty much what most users on the GTK bugtracker seem to agree would be the best solution. There are already some patches like that on the gtk bugtracker. Maybe the gnome/ubuntu guys can take a look at it, clean them up if needed and integrate it. Maybe, hopefully, ubuntu/debian devs can even convince the gtk folks to integrate it... -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hi, if I correctly understood some thread I found ( http://www.nabble.com/Bug-479759:-xfce4:-keyboard-shortcuts-don%27t- respect-keyboard-layout-td17083735.html ) gtk seems to be the culprit. It seems to affect gtk-based DE's such as gnome and Xfce, it's seems to be distro-independent and it seems to happen on any keyboard layout that is not 'the default' (which is US querty or whatever) (I'm having it on Archlinux, using Xfce and dvorak) -- 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 Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

[Bug 174832] Re: ubuntu gnome-terminal - wrong key mapping in bash with a french keyboard
After some more research, the root issue here is the way gtk handles more then 2 layouts, and especially switching between them. 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 member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello, Using Ubuntu 8.04, still have the problem: French keyboard layout works for most applications (applications with a GUI) but doesnt inside Gnome- terminal (ctrl+q insteead of ctrl+a).

Hi, I confirm this bug is annoying. I used to type Control-W to erase a word, and and I have to use Control-Z. To suspend a job on bash, I used Control-Z but now I have to type Control-W.
