Are there any people who would NOT want that sign added automatically? Will they be upset? I don't think they will get upset as its standard currency sign for India. People do need it to input while typing any statistical data. Xkb keymap users need rupee sign to input but they need to find a distro specific way of enabling rupee sign option (e.g. on Fedora 18, need to use 2 different apps, one for enabling AltGr and another for rupee sign option) or a setxkb command to enable right alt and rupeesign option. With this patch we just want to ease the input of rupee sign by the selection of any Indic xkb map. Created attachment 72986 [details] [review] Add Rupee Sign default on some Indic xkb maps I have revised the patch to consider minimum one map per language to maximum two maps per language. The xkb_symbols modified in this patch are deva bolnagri ben ben_probhat guj kan mal mal_lalitha ori tam tel guru jhelum olpc hin-wx One slight different change is done for Jhelum map is as there are already Gurumukhi numerals on altgr+normal layer, rupeesign is added on AltGr+r as its empty space. You removed explicitly specified dollar from several variants. Don't you think people will get annoyed? I would not like to revert your patch in 2 weeks time. Dollar sign is quite often used around the world, not only US. What about India? I removed dollar on <AltGr+$> as I can clearly see its redundant. Those 4 keymaps can easily type dollar using <shift+4> as well as <AlrGr+$> keypress. so, I just modified mappings on <AltGr+$> combination. People can still get dollar easily and their usual way of <shift+4> I really wonder how many Indic people know the way to type using AltGr. so, I don't think people would have make them more familiar to type dollar using <AlrGr+$> instead of easy way of <shift+4> Trying: Applying: Add Rupee Sign default on some Indic xkb maps error: patch failed: symbols/in:1443 error: symbols/in: patch does not apply Patch failed at 0001 Add Rupee Sign default on some Indic xkb maps The copy of the patch that failed is found in: /home/svu/git/xkeyboard-config/.git/rebase-apply/patch When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved".

Created attachment 72706 [details] Add Rupee Sign default on all Indic xkb maps I saw some people are not knowing how to add currency options and there is also request from them to have Rupee Sign default added to their preferred Indic xkb keymap. I am here proposing a patch that will add Rupee Sign group option default to all Indic maps. This will help people to just enable the map and have this option enabled default for them.
