On Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala), the bug is still here, only in gnome- terminal (and not in any other gtk or gnome app).
My setup ======= A laptop with a Swiss French keyboard. At work, I connect a Dvorak keyboard to it. So I'm using a Swiss French layout at home and a Dvorak layout at work on the same machine. Summary ======= Gnome-Terminal ignore the keyboard layout in use for its keyboard shortcuts. Keyboard shortcuts will always use the default layout. How to reproduce ============== - In Gnome keyboard preferences, add an "exotic" layout (like a Dvorak one) in addition to a classic one. We will imply that the "classic" layout is the default one. - Open a gnome-terminal and type some text. Then hit Ctrl+c. It should work as expected (you should see a new command prompt line). - Switch to the "exotic" layout and type some text. You can see that the new layout is active. Now try to hit Ctrl+c in your new layout. It won't work. - Still using "exotic" layout, if you hit Ctrl+[key corresponding to the c key in the classic layout], it will work. - Test it with other keyboard shortcuts. You encounter the same behavior. - Now make your exotic layout the default one (see the solution in #15). All keyboard shortcuts will work using the exotic layout, and no longer using the classic layout. - Open another GTK or Gnome app (like The GIMP). You will see that keyboard shortcuts will work as expected instead of ignoring the current keyboard layout. Solution to implement ================= If one is currently using another keyboard layout than the default one, Gnome Terminal should use it for keyboard shortcuts too. -- Ctrl+Z in Terminal doesn't work with dvorak layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/204202 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
