Bug ID: 364011 Summary: Unable to switch from QWERTY, when using a different hardware layout Product: ktouch Version: 2.3.0 Platform: Debian testing OS: Linux Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: grave Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: sebastiangottfr...@web.de Reporter: k...@gergo.csillger.hu I am using an ErgoDox EZ, a programmable keyboard. My OS is set to a QWERTY layout, but my keyboards sends the keycodes according to the Dvorak/Capewell-Dvorak layout. That is, if I press the key that's in the Q position on QWERTY, the keyboard will send the ' key instead. Since I am experimenting with custom layouts, that even my OS does not have built-in support for, I do not wish to set my hardware to QWERTY *and* create a software layout, just so I can use KTouch. Please make it possible to override the auto-detected keyboard layout, so those of us with QWERTY OS layout, but a different one in hardware, can still use the program. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Plug in any keyboard that has a non-QWERTY hardware layout. 2. Set your OS layout to QWERTY. 3. Launch KTouch. Actual Results: KTouch detects the QWERTY layout, and does not let me switch to a custom one. Expected Results: The software should have let me select the layout I want, the one my hardware uses, instead of guessing it from the OS layout. For this use case, the severity is grave, because the program is completely unusable when I'm forced into QWERTY. All I need is a simple menu that lets me choose a layout - I already created the layout in ktouch, along with the lessons. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
