Description JC Ahangama 2016-10-05 16:39:14 UTC
Please implement the following change to the
xkb_symbols "us" variant in the symbols/lk file. Thank you:


REPLACE these two rows:

 key <AD01> { [             d,             D,             q ] };
 key <AC03> { [           eth,           ETH,    VoidSymbol ] };


WITH these two:

 key <AD01> { [           eth,           ETH,             q ] };
 key <AC03> { [             d,             D,    VoidSymbol ] };

Could you please provide some background why this change is needed? And may be why it was wrong in the first place? Thank you

I apologize for this very, very late reply.

Actually, all users are happy with d ad D at the position of QWERTY's physical position of q. (Users that reported use Windows).

d and D are rare in Sanskrit, Pali and Singhala. People tend to hit 'd' on the QWERTY physical keyboard when trying to get their more common ð and Ð.

Now I wonder if I flipped the sets by error in my request. This is how we want it:

 key <AD01> { [             d,             D,             q ] }; (qwer.. row)
 key <AC03> { [           eth,           ETH,    VoidSymbol ] }; (asdf.. row)

May I know kindly where the entire layout is listed? I can't recall where I made the original request. Slipping memory is the age-related state I have.

Thank you with appreciation.

JC
