This command is supposed to set the virtual console keymap. Helptext: ~~~ Commands: [...] set-keymap MAP [MAP] Set virtual console keyboard mapping ~~~ However it changed my X11 keymap configuration file. Afterwards I checked the manpage and find: ~~~ Unless --no-convert is passed, the selected setting is also applied to the default keyboard mapping of X11, after converting it to the closest matching X11 keyboard mapping. Use list-keymaps for a list of available keyboard mappings (see below). ~~~ Now this is totally unexpected and doesn't make any sense at all. I didn't check the --no-convert option beforehand, because it's - unexpected. Even if there's a friendly intention behind this, it just feels like: "You just got screwed!" What were you thinking, when you programmed this ? Please, clarify the description in the help text or change the behavior. Thanks Thanks for improving/fixing (despite my provokative report). |
