Description situert 2007-04-29 05:48:25 UTC

Hello,

My system is Debian 4.0 (Etch) with X.org 7.1.1.

When I execute the following command:

setxkbmap -layout tr,us -option grp:alt,caps:shift

and change the layout to the US layout by pressing both
Alt keys at the same time, the key just above the right
shift key acts like it got stuck in the Turkish keyboard
layout. To be specific, it prints "," and ";" with shift
instead of "\" and "|" with shift. I found out that this
occurs because of a missing line in US layout's xkb
symbols file which is

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us    on some sytems
or
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/us          on other systems

If the attached patch is applied to the mentioned file
then this problem ceases to exist.

Thank you for your attention,
situert

This bug did not exist in older versions of X.org because
the line in the patch existed in the xkb symbols file
of the US keyboard layout.

I am sorry. The command line I mentioned is wrong.
The correct command line is the following:

setxkbmap -layout tr,us -option grp:alts_toggle
