So there are two things why this happened: a) Currently, in unity8 Alt and Alt+Gr are the same. There is a change in Mir coming up which allows unity8 to fix that. That's still to be done.
b) Unity8 has some workaround for delaying the alt presses in case they'd be consumed by the shell (Alt+Tab). The linked branch changes that behavior to actually forward Alt but then cancels it again for the app in case unity8 consumes it. That happens to fix this bug, still a) needs to be fixed too. ** Changed in: unity8 (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => High ** Changed in: ubuntu-system-settings (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Invalid -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1565236 Title: AltGr not working on external keyboards To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/canonical-devices-system-image/+bug/1565236/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
