To complete the information. My name is Lukáš Mojžíš - Not Luk Moj as the accented letters were probably wiped during the CopyPasting.

There is also 1 mistake in the layout's comment-header...
-thez press something and ged another symbol, that they didn't expect :).
+they press something and get another symbol, that they didn't expect :).

I was typing late at night. Sorry for that :)

It is NOT keyboard-dependent - What I have is a generic keyboard that is usually put into notebooks. On desktop, the problem is same, so it is not really keyboard-dependent.

Are you sure you need separate new section qwerty_common? Could you patch the existing variant? Also, could you provide some reference so we would be sure your updated version is more correct?

Thanks

I think yes, we need a separate layout, because MANY people using czech qwerty on linux are already comfortable with the bad one. I think we should provide an alternative layout OR patch the current layout AND name the bad one as qwerty-legacy etc.

I cannot provide any referrence, but you can personally boot up Windows or Mac and compare these two layouts with the linux one. As you can see, there is just a few modifications comparing to czech-qwertz. I think there are just swapped Z<->Y AND z<->y. I know we shouldn't copy everything from windows, but for me, it is really difficult to dual-boot vanilla linux and windows. These two layouts are just different.

I really think we should really provide an alternative layout, because newcomers from Windows and Mac would be confused and the current users would be as well confused if their layout will get modified.

I think we should at least provide some time to all current users using cz-qwerty on linux right now to get used to the correct layout.

Use google for terms "czech qwerty {windows,mac} keyboard" and "česká qwerty klávesnice {windows,mac}" and you should really see the difference, if you open keyboard preferrences on linux and show it. Then compare my modified layout with the pictures. It is better, isn't it?

Ok, the general policy is to have the default variant matching the expectections of majority. Since today the majority comes from Windows, there are all reasons to patch the default variant. Let's just do that.

If we get complains from unhappy users of the previous version, we can always add "legacy" variant, as you advised.

Could you provide a patch please?

Sure, I hope I will have it done in less than half an hour. Please be patient.

The patch is in the invalid format. Please use "diff -u"

This time it is better. Even though it is not against git (even not against latest 2.3). Next time please submit the patches against the latest version.

Thanks for the contribution. If someone complains about broken layout, we'll reopen this bug

Why is the change applied to qwerty variant instead of to cz(basic)? The cz(basic) is included from qwerty and it itself redefines keys you redefine with your patch any way.

Your changes in qwerty:

+    key <AB01>	{ [         z,          Z,       degree,         NoSymbol ] };
+    key <AC10>	{ [     uring,   quotedbl,    semicolon,         NoSymbol ] };
+    key <AD06>	{ [         y,          Y,     NoSymbol,         NoSymbol ] };
+    key <AD11>	{ [    uacute,      slash,  bracketleft,        braceleft ] };
+    key <AD12>	{ [parenright,  parenleft, bracketright,       braceright ] };
+    key <AE09>	{ [    iacute,          9,    parenleft,       dead_acute ] };
+    key <AE10>	{ [    eacute,          0,   parenright, dead_doubleacute ] };

The cz(basic):

     key <AB01>  { [        y,          Y,       degree,         NoSymbol ] };
     key <AC10>  { [    uring,   quotedbl,       dollar,         NoSymbol ] };
     key <AD06>  { [        z,          Z,     NoSymbol,         NoSymbol ] };
     key <AD11>  { [    uacute,      slash, bracketleft,         division ] };
     key <AD12>  { [parenright,  parenleft,bracketright,         multiply ] };
     key <AE09>  { [    iacute,         9,    braceleft,       dead_acute ] };
     key <AE10>  { [    eacute,         0,   braceright, dead_doubleacute ] };

In other words, you should apply your changes to cs(basic) and keep qwerty  exchanging Z/Y only.

Because they're NOT the same.

Sym|    QWERTY    | QWERTZ
---+--------------+--------
 @ | RAlt-2       | RAlt-V
 # | RAlt-3       | RAlt-X
 & | RAlt-7       | Ralt-C
 \ | RAlt-¨       | RAlt-Q
 | | RAlt-Shift-¨ | RAlt-W

That's why I patched only QWERTY and not QWERTZ

Have a nice day.

Forgot to add colon on one key. This is the updated patch.

Lukas, your patch does not apply to the current git. Could you please fix that?

How to obtain it, please?

git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/xkeyboard-config

Patch for version 2011-10-09 17:15:17.470118542

Seems like my corrected layout was already in git. I just patched 2 keys I forgot to modify.

thanks, committed. Next time could you please use "diff -u"
