Hi, Either way, thank you for the swift replies. It is encouraging to see bugs are so quickly looked at on Ubuntu. Firstly, I just asked my gf (a german) how she writes the @ symbol. She used ctrl-alt-q. Secondly, while I hate using this argument, and it is largely a stupid argument, ctrl-alt-q works fine on windows.
Question: Did you mean 'Ctrl+AltGr+Q' ?? or did you mean 'AltGr+Q' ? On my computer, 'Ctrl+Alt (the right alt) + Q ' causes the focused window, eg gedit, to quit. On my computer, 'Alt (the right alt) + Q' gives me a lower case 'q'. I did check my German keymap file at '/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols' and, it looks to be like it should work: key <AD01> { [ udiaeresis, Udiaeresis, at ] }; Perhaps then, am I experiencing a symptom of a different exact bug, namely, that my AltGr is missing? Incidentally, the layout of my keyboard looks like this (lower row) ctrl/Fn/Alt/Tilda/space bar/Ins/Del/Alt ** Changed in: ubuntu Status: Incomplete => New -- missing key on german keyboard layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/216338 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
