Package: kinput2-common
Version: 3.1-1
Severity: normal

The documentation files defkeys.wnn and defaultkeys.gz does not
match the installation default (which is Egg).  It has taken me
hours of work to figure out how kinput2 was handling keybindings;
I think the package should contain a clear explanation that the
default keybinding is a choice of two, and that it defaults to
Egg.

I would also appreciate it if it were documented how to change
keybindings on a per-user basis, without modifying the files
in /etc/kinput2.  I suspect this is possible from observing
the strace output of kinput2.

More generally, the whole documentation of kinput2 and how it
works is quite poor.  There is no mention that the LC_CTYPE
variable must be set appropriately to get kinput2 to work at
all, for example.  If you want to make a serious effort to
improve the documentation, I will try to help in whatever
way I can.

Thanks,

Neil.
