            Bug ID: 356773
           Summary: Keyboard: Modifier keys does not work with Space
                    (AltGr, Shift and Shift + AltGr)
           Product: plasmashell
           Version: master
          Platform: Archlinux Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
          Reporter: martin.lud...@outlook.com
                CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org

I use a keyboard layout (bépo, an ergonomic layout adapted to French) that uses
modifier keys on Space key: AltGr + Space to type an underscore (Shift and
Shift + AltGr are also used for special spaces).

But since my update to Plasma5, it does not work anymore: regardless the
modifier keys, when I press the space bar, I always have a standard space.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to a keyboard layout that uses modifier keys on Space key (like bépo)
2. Try to type an underscore (AltGr + Space)

Actual Results:  
The typed character is a standard space.

Expected Results:  
The typed character should be an underscore.

After searching a bit, I think this problem is that plasma manages the space
bar differently. Anyway, I checked the configuration of the keyboard layout and
it should work.

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fr:
[…]
xkb_symbols "bepo" {
    […]
    key <SPCE> { [space, nobreakspace, underscore, U202F ] }; //normal,  
Shift,   AltGr,   Shit + AlgGr
    […]
};
[…]
