Package: xkb-data
Version: 0.9-4
Severity: normal
US International Layout is not working properly. I use setxkbmap in my
window manager startup script .icewm/startup to set keyboard layouts:
setxkbmap -layout "us_intl,ru(winkeys)" -model pc104 -option
"grp:ctrl_shift_toggle"
us_intl is working rather strange. I consider the layout given in
Wikipedia to be the proper one:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout
http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/2/22/KB_US-International.svg/540px-KB_US-International.svg.png
Now, I have those problems:
1) Right Alt is not working as AltGr. If I press it with another key,
this gives nothing, the only exception is "AltGr" (right alt) + "e"
combination that gives the euro sign (€). According to Wikipedia that
combination should give "e" with accent aigu (é), but anyway "e"
is probably the only key that is working in conjunction with Right Alt,
anything other gives unmodified value of the key pressed with AltGr.
2) Left Alt is working more like AltGr. That means, it works in
combination with another keys, but the results is messed up. E.g.
pressing "Left Alt" + ":" gives right french quoting (») as for left
french quoting, I did not find which key does it.
So, those points made me think that US International Layout is broken
even if it's not ment to be the same one which is given in Wikipedia.
I have standard pc105 keyboard. Unfortunately I cannot tell which
xorg version this stopped working from, because I switched to us_intl only
recently.
