Package: xserver-xorg-core
Version: 1.4.2-10
When I assign a key to send a Control-c with the RedirectKey action of xkb, the
X server sends correctly a KeyPress with "Control-c" but it also sends a "c"
and then the same thing with 2 KeyRelease events.
To do the config quickly, add the following file under xkb/compat/edit
default partial xkb_compatibility "basic" {
interpret.repeat= False;
// Ctrl+C for Copy
interpret XF86Copy {
action = Redirect(Key=<AB03>, modifiers=Control);
};
};
Put "edit" in the compat/complete file:
default xkb_compatibility "complete" {
include "basic"
augment "iso9995"
augment "mousekeys"
augment "accessx(full)"
augment "misc"
augment "xfree86"
augment "level5"
augment "edit"
};
Then you can change the mapping of one of your key using xmodmap:
keycode 69 = XF86Copy
and you'll see the problem with xev.

There are many changes between Xserver 1.4 and 1.6. We would have to
locate the exact commit fixing this and make sure it is actually
backportable. Not easy at all...
I am marking the bug as fixed in Xserver 1.6rc1.
thanks,
Brice
