Bug#733757: xkb-data: CTRL_R not existant anymore
Package: xkb-data
Version: 2.10.1-1
Followup-For: Bug #733757
I agree at 100% with the original report, change in behavior of CTRL_R
is driving me crazy.
FTR, upstream commit was http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xkeyboard-config/commit/?id=518c769df2e9ce70cb721769a08b81504f243b2a
after comment https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15804#c32
IIUC, the rationale was "some applications don't cope with Ctrl+Space
emitting the same XLookupString as naked Space". Mentioned apps were
Rhythmbox and Totem, both of which don't seem to suffer of the problem
anymore (Rhythmbox don't use Ctrl+Space as a shortcut anymore, and Totem
don't seem to give a damn about modifiers).
I hope this change could be reverted, or the original problem fixed in a
way that don't change the behavior of such a common key like CTRL_R.
Even a new variant, like "proper_oss" or whatever would be fine by me,
anything that don't require me to manually edit the map.

Colomban
