Bug#729371: bepo: map AltGr+G to dead_greek instead of mu
Package: xkb-data
Version: 2.5.1-3
Severity: normal
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
In the Bépo layout of /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fr (partial
alphanumeric_keys xkb_symbols "bepo"), the key <AB08> is mapped to
letter "g" (keysym 0x67), with third-level mapped to greek character "µ"
(keysym 0xb5).
This differs from the official Bépo layout as advertised on the project
website[1], where the combination <AltGr+g> produces the dead key
<dead_greek> (keysym 0xfe8c), allowing to access greek letters via the
corresponding latin ones.
Attached is a patch to restore the intended symbol.
Another possible (and probably better) fix would be to upgrade
xkeyboard-config to a more recent version: <dead_greek> was
introduced[2] in version 2.6, hence solving #718730 would solve this bug
too.
Cheers,
iouri.
