Ubuntu 8.10 alpha 4. Colemak is not in the keymaps list at the livecd main menu (hit F4). Colemak can be selected from the layouts under language -> english. To make backspace repeat properly, type: xset r 66
If you switch to qwerty, it turns the caps toggle back on and breaks the layout for that session. Logging out and back in does nothing but turns backspace repeat off again. Again, the only proper solution to this problem is to remove the awesome backspace from the colemak layout file and implement it properly as a caps lock key behavior. That sounds like a feature, but would primarily be a bugfix. At any time, if the layout is colemak, it will be in working condition with the following two commands: xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock" xset r 66 It is recommended that until this bug is fixed, those commands be added to a startup script of some sort as a workaround. -- colemak is broken https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/188308 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
