Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 63329
The is keymap is slightly wrong
Last modified: 2005-10-31 17:00:50 EST
Description of Problem: The is keymap (/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/is) is not 100% correct. Most noticable is the fact that the "`" key is missing. Rather annoying for us who do any scripting at all. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): It's been like this for quite some time. We here in Iceland have adapted to it and this version of the is keymap has been publicly available since the 6.2 release. And it just hit me, why not try to get you guys to include it in the new upcoming release :) How Reproducible: Every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. load the is keymap 2. press the ` key 3. Actual Results: Something else appears ;) Expected Results: the ` should appear Additional Information: Here is the chance to win the gratitude of people who script in Iceland ;)
Cant attach the keymap. youll find it at http://www.ra.is/is
The best thing to do, is to submit fixes like this directly to XFree86.org as soon as a bug is known, and a fix available. That way, once they put the fix in place, it can get a lot of testing, and will make it automatically into all distributions. It is a difficult chore for distribution maintainers to maintain a large number of keymap files that differ from the stock releases, and have to resync the customizations with each new XFree86 release. I'm marking this as DEFERRED for future release for now, however if someone will attach a unified diff (diff -u) of the keymap file from the XFree86 source code (not the one installed on the system), containing the needed changes, and reopen the report, I will try to add the patch to a future release until it is in the upstream sources. Again, it is always best to file these sort of reports directly with XFree86.org. Bug reports can be sent to xfree86@xfree86.org, and patches and fixes can be sent to fixes@xfree86.org
