Package: xautomation
Version: 1.09-1
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
xte seems to ignore the keyboard-layout, and always use the US-layout.
Example with a German keyboard:
$ xte "str echo 'ö/'"
$ echo |;&|
Strangely, it seems to be possible to re-set the keyboard-map with setxkbmap,
to solve the problem. Example:
$ xinput --list
...
⎣ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
...
$ setxkbmap -device 3 -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+de(nodeadkeys)+inet(evdev)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
$ xte "str echo 'ö/'"
$ echo |;&|
$ setxkbmap -device 3 "de(nodeadkeys)"
$ setxkbmap -device 3 -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "evdev+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+de(nodeadkeys)+inet(evdev)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
$ xte "str echo 'ö/'"
$ echo 'ö/'
