After upgrading xkeyboard-config with French keyboard. dot key is not giving anymore a dot on screen, but a comma instead https://bugs.archlinux.org/task/38743
I confirm this bug with the IT layout, not only the FR. Please switch back to the previous behavior. This bug completely breaks the keyboard usage. Thanks.
This is the wrong commit: http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=cf93beb47f9907946dd72ca4d481ffbbbadda53a I understand the SI discussion, but I don't agree at all. Italian users are used to have the DOT on that key, so changing it is very annoying. Please revert the commit: Italian keyboard have a "DOT" not a "COMMA" on the <KPDL> key. The "DOT" is the default char and it's always printed on the key. Thanks.
Right. The key should return what's imprinted on it. From looking at pictures I believe that this is true also for the Dutch (NL) keyboard.
Created attachment 93361 [details] [review] Back out cf93beb - restore numeric keypad separator for FR/IT/NL This reverts commit cf93beb47f9907946dd72ca4d481ffbbbadda53a Let <KPDL> key on it,fr and nl keyboards generate KP_Separator. Notwithstanding the never ending discussion what character this key on the numeric keypad should produce this key should produce what is imprinted on the keyboards. After all all three countries are observing the SI standards. This makes this layout more consistent and match for instance what is done in the de layout. It turned out that the information about the keypad separator for the fr, it and nl keyboard layouts were obtained from what glibc sets as delimiter for the respective language. This however doesn't coincide what is imprinted on the keyboards for the respective languages.
I'm sorry that this happened. Next time I will research myself before I trust what others have found.
Thank you ! Pushed!
