[Pkg-ime-devel] Bug#686612: ibus-m17n: <AltGr> and <Shift>-non-ascii do not work
Package: ibus-m17n
Version: 1.3.4-1
Severity: normal
Dear Maintainer,
On a latin type2 qwerty keyboard (Norwegian):
After selecting hi-phonetic in ibus, in Gnome-shell, expected characters according to /usr/share/m17n/hi-phonetic.mim are not produced for symbols accessed with AltGr.
E.g.:
Pressing [ (AltGr-8) does not give ?
Pressing ] (AltGr-9) does not give ?
Pressing @ (AltGr-2) does not give ?
Pressing $ (AltGr-4) does not give ?
It used to work in Squeeze.
As a workaround I am for example able to remap the following:
((aring) ??)
((ae) ??)
((oslash) ??)
But this does not work:
((Aring) ??)
((AE) ??)
((Ooblique) ??)
nor:
("?" ??)
("?" ??)
("?" ??)
Thus the available keys for remapping become too few.
But that could be because I do not know how to specify shift-accessed symbols as sequences.
Is there any user oriented information about how to do this, both regarding <AltGr> and <Shift>? I've searched quite a bit without luck...
The same problems occur for several other mim files, fx grc-mizuochi.mim: Characters accessed with <AltGr>, <Shift>-<AltGr> and <Shift>-some-non-ascii-letter produce only the default non-ibus characters for such keyboard keys, as defined in the files at /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ (or so it seems to me).
Best regards
Tore
