Thank you very much for the information.
So the current summary of the situation is that setting the layout as
"jp" with no additional information leaves the "yen" and "]" keys
broken, whereas specifying the model and the variant to jp106 rescues
the "]" key.
On commande line:
setxkbmap -layout "jp" # Is not enough
setxkbmap -layout "jp" -model "jp106" -variant "jp106" # Rescues "]"
setxkbmap -layout "jp" # The rescue is not lost!
I will determine if it is necessary to specify model and variant at the
same time, or if one is dispensable. Strangely, when I change the layout
in command line, the rescue is permanent, so I will need to restart the
X server a few times, for which I do not have enough time now...
What did you meand by "using SJIS encoding" ?
Have a nice day,
