My question therefore is: while I will mention these problems upstream, should I also make the PR? Contact the port maintainer directly? I understand it is not FreeBSD specific (same issue on Debian Sid) however it really make the current port unusable for those working on laptops and those needing to input characters only reachable with the compose key.
I would. While the ports are handled separately from the base system they need to be maintained as well. If a version of a port has issues then an older version could stay in place. The pr system is used for ports as well as the base system. Can't say I'm sure which key you refer to as compose - do you mean Alt or Ctrl? I have heard of the ctrl key being remapped to the caps lock for continuous use. You may also look into turning on sticky keys, it keeps a modifier key active without holding it down so that the next key pressed has the modifier included. see x11/xkbset _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
