Re: xkb-data: Help needed for Macintosh keyboards
Hi,
I'm very happy that someone is taking care of the macintosh keyboards!
First I switched to
XkbRules: xorg
XkbModel: pc105
XkbLayout: de
XkbVariant: mac_nodeadkeys
XkbOptions: lv3:lalt_switch
which is also provided by xkb-data 0.8-8 in unstable. This is working well
except KP_Equal. The key on my PowerBook5,2 (15'' with ADB keyboard) emits
keycode 157 while keycodes/xfree86 maps <KPEQ> to keycode 126. (I would
like to file a bug about this, but I don't know against which package.)
Then I tested
XkbRules: xorg
XkbModel: macintosh
XkbLayout: de
XkbVariant: nodeadkeys
XkbOptions: lv3:lalt_switch
from xkb-data 0.8-8exp1. This time <KPEQ> is working. But I have no shift
key anymore. Thus I can't type any symbol from level 2 or level 4.
Furthermore I have no ctrl, no command (win key), no funcion keys and no
navigation (left, right, up, down ...). This is no fun ...
But perhaps symbols/macintosh_vndr/de will be dropped anyway in favour of
the macintosh variants in symbols/de?
Further I saw that the keypad section in symbols/macintosh_vndr/us is
different to symbols/pc. In macintosh_vndr/us the numbers are on level 1
in contrast to level 2 in symbols/pc. So by using include "keypad(comma)"
in macintosh_vndr/{ch,de,se} you're hitting again bug #328125 because
symbols/keypad is used to work together with symbols/pc.
Best regards
Ben
