Description freedesktop 2011-06-19 03:57:29 UTC

In xkb/symbols/de the “nodeadkey” variant defines dead_belowdot (a dead key) to AB10 – overwriting the important endash and emdash defines

Replacing frequently needed characters with a dead-key in a nodeadkeys variant seems to be some strange kind of humor.

Should AB10 mapping be just removed from that variant? Or you have better suggestion?

Comment 2 freedesktop 2011-08-09 13:35:14 UTC

For me this would be O.K.
I have no better Idea.

Comment 3 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2011-08-10 13:44:20 UTC

ok, committed. thanks for the hint
