## UPSTREAM BUG ## TRACKING ENTRY ##

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

<= current

Description of problem:

If used in a none english desktop setup with i.E. de_DE as language for bash,
the english keycode for chars i used, instead of the correct localized char.

Example:

$ echo $LANG
de_DE.UTF-8
$ xdotool key X Y
XZ $ XZ

As there is no local option for xdotool to use, users assume the correct handling for chars.

Comment 1 Fedora Release Engineering 2023-08-16 07:11:20 UTC
This bug appears to have been reported against 'rawhide' during the Fedora Linux 39 development cycle.
Changing version to 39.
