[Bug 822872] Re: LeftCtrl+LeftAlt+Key should be equivalent to RightAlt+Key

2013-06-30 Thread Petra Baum
In my opinion there should be added an option to enable and as a replacement for just for the keys where it is necesary. On a german keyboard, combination of , and + could be used to make ~ because it is not used for an other function. Even if it is also not comfortable to use and , many Wi

The Ctrl+Alt equivalence to AltGr is a Windows workaround to the fact that some keyboards didn't have an AltGr (such keyboards are still sometimes found in the US) to enable people with such keyboards to attempt to write languages like Spanish and English (okay, there are other ways of writing word

I have just found this bug, and I disagree completely. Ctrl+Alt+T, for example, should not be the same as AltGr+T. The two have different meanings and functions. For example, on Ubuntu, Ctrl+Alt+T opens the Terminal; whereas AltGr+T creates a character: ŧ This bug should be marked as invalid. --

My sentence “it doesn’t allow for fourth level keys, since it already includes the Shift (thus making you fall back again on right hand only for the fourth level)” was an obvious mix up. It was supposed to be: “it doesn’t allow for comfortable typing of fourth-level keys, which would require three

For the sake of completeness, one must add that LeftCtrl+LeftAlt is not a _perfect_ left-hand third-level chooser, because: 1) it involves pressing two keys instead of one, which is more stressful on the hand; 2) it doesn’t allow for fourth level keys, since it already includes the Shift (thus m

I have though of another way of explaining the problem: imagine you only had a right shift key, and not also a left one. Now force yourself to input capitals (and other second level keys) of right-hand keys through that right shift only, instead of pressing the left shift with your left little fing

In the meantime, I have found a temporary workaround: in the keyboard layout options (System>Preferences>Keyboard>Layouts>Options…): 1) under “Key to choose 3rd level” check “Left Alt” and “Right Alt”, 2) under “Alt/Win key behavior” select “Left Alt is swapped with left Win”. The first step solv

Well, actually the problem can be reproduced by anyone (including you), as I have explained. You only need to choose a keyboard layout containing third-level keys (most European ones do, as well as the US/UK international one) and then try to input such a key by pressing it at the same time as l
