The Norwegian team for I18N and L10N of free software (the i18n-no list) has discussed improvements of the Norwegian keyboard layout, and has agreed on the additions in the attached patch. The patch adds the following characters, used in Norwegian, or for typesetting math: ellipsis: … en-dash and em-dash: – and — trademark sign: ™ pi letters: π and Π per mille sign: ‰ non-breaking space and thin non-breaking space (nbsp include) typographic mathematical operators on the numeric keypad (ossmath include) Please include these changes in the next release. Thanks! Karl Ove Hufthammer on behalf of i18n-no
Created attachment 28907 [details] [review] Patch with updates for symbols/no
I also have a question regarding how setxkbmap works. When creating the patch, I used a different filename, e.g., /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/new The command ‘setxkbmap new’ correctly loaded the new keyboard settings, and everything seemd fine, so I submitted the patch. However, now that I have changed the actual file /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/no the changes don’t seem to take effect. That is, if I type setxkbmap new the changes work, so that, for example, ‘AltGr + .’ gives me … However, if I use setxkbmap no the changes are reverted, so that ‘AltGr + .’ gives me · instead of … The files ‘no’ and ‘new’ contains the exact same data (‘diff’ reports no differences). So what’s going on? Should the patch be based on some other file?
Thanks, your patch is in git now. I do not actually know why it picked the old version. May be, you have another 'no' file around (for example, ./symbols/no)? Try setxkbmap -layout no -print | xkbcomp -I -I /usr/share/X11/xkb - :0
