Russian (Israeli, Greek and so on) users have to switch between RU (or some other) and USA layout. And the layout switcher enabled by default is necessary in this situation.
Russian language have these letters: «абвгдеёжзийклмнопрстуфхцчшщъыьэюя». Some of them looks like Latin symbols, but Cyrillic 'a' (ah) is not the same as Latin 'a' (ei). And these two symbols have different unicode codes. You can't write «google» using Cyryllic 'o'. We press layout switcher hotkey to select US layout and write «google». -- Keyboard indicator not enabled by default for non-English installations of Kubuntu https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/550704 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to kubuntu-meta in ubuntu. -- kubuntu-bugs mailing list kubuntu-b...@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/kubuntu-bugs
