Public bug reported: On a German PC keyboard, usually square brackets are produced as follows:
AltGr + 8: squared bracket open AltGr + 9: squared bracket close. MacBooks Pros have no printed indication on the keys how to produce square brackets (AFAIK this goes for all models), so I assumed you could produce them the PC way. I assumed that the key second right to the space key (= the one left from the LeftArrow key - you can see this nicely on http://www.oliverherrmann.com/stuff/mbp/MBP02.jpg) would have the function of the "AltGr" key you know from PCs. However, when I press this key whose name I don't know, plus "8" or "9", I get no square brackets. Instead, this key works as "Return" key. This goes for Ubuntu 8.10 Alpha 4, fully updated. Ubuntu installed, then System -> Prefrences -> Keyboard -> "MacBook / MacBook Pro (Intel)". The MacBook Pro is a rev. 3 one. ** Affects: control-center (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Tags: keyboard ** Tags added: keyboard -- MacBook Pro: No square brackets - wrong keyboard layout https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/261780 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
