Description Eugene V. Lyubimkin 2009-04-20 08:43:20 UTC
Please make Xkb variant 'winkeys' default for 'ua' keyboard layout.

A similar change was done some time ago for 'ru' keyboard layout, and 'ua' layout is different from 'ru' one only in few letters, and probably most of users of 'ua' layout also have 'ru' layout installed too, so IMHO it would be good to have equal default Xkb variants.

ua(unicode) is better default for UA than winkeys.
It has winkes and also russian letters via alt.

Wouldn't this concur with "Alt+<letter>" keybindings for calling menu entries in X applications?
Comment 3 Vassily Gavrilyak 2009-04-20 10:09:15 UTC
Right alt is used to choose third-level (ru and unicode symbols), Left-Alt is still normal Alt. Just try it and you will see by yourself.

Then it's fine for me.

i agree with previous comment about ua-unicode, it sounds like the best possible solution, and it is still compatible with winkeys.
Comment 6 NodDeat 2009-04-23 05:30:23 UTC
No, the default layout should be ua(unicode). As it was told, it is based on ua(winkeys) but has many useful typography symbols.

Ok, done. Please check in git
