altgr+e mapped with euro sign in lithuanian xkb keymap
Comment 1 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2005-03-30 12:29:37 UTC
I just checked - in xorg 6.8.1 e is mapped as:
    key <AD03>  { [         e,          E,      emacron,      Emacron ] };
Do you want it to be changed to Euro on both 3rd and 4th level?
Comment 2 Denis Barbier 2005-03-30 13:26:15 UTC
It is already achieved by adding '-option eurosign:e', so is it a good
idea to change altgr+e by defaukt?
Comment 3 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2005-03-30 13:51:04 UTC
Denis, actually, I agree - just using this option is enough - but probably this
Emacron symbol is completely irrelevant - so we could replace it with Euro. So,
let's see what the reporter says...
Comment 4 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2005-12-30 08:04:43 UTC
No update for more than half a year, closing it
Comment 5 Mantas Kriaučiūnas 2005-12-30 08:33:45 UTC
Why you closed this bug as invalid ?
It still exists in Xorg version 6.8 (xkeyboard-config version 0.6) from latest
Ubuntu version.
Comment 6 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2005-12-30 08:54:36 UTC
Well, I just closed it becase there was not feedback. So could you please
comment - why adding an option eurosign:e is not appropriate? Or is emacron
absolutely obsolete at this places?
Comment 7 Nicolas Mailhot 2005-12-30 09:11:49 UTC
Given that Lithuania is a EU member state I don't see how you can seriously keep
the Euro symbol optional. Is it somewhere else on the layout ?

(just passing)
Comment 8 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2005-12-30 09:16:32 UTC
I do not have problem adding euro to any layout - I just want to ensure there
will be minimal frustration from the people which used to have different symbol
on that place. Currently, someone is probably using this emicron symbol - so I
am trying to realize, which symbol should be there, which symbol is physically
engraved on keyboards (when people buy them in shops) etc.
Comment 9 vytis 2005-12-30 18:53:35 UTC
emicron symbol is used in very special cases, mostly by language specialists in
special literature.
Usualy, euro sign is physically engraved on keyboards (when people buy them in
shops).

Ok, It answers my question.
Now I looked into our CVS
(http://cvs.freedesktop.org/xlibs/xkbdesc/symbols/lt?rev=1.8&view=markup) - and
see the Euro sign in place! So, I think it should make this bug closed,
shouldn't it?
