As far as I understand the situation. => a french keyboard layout was designed to take care of specific needs of french typography, and that's ok. => some applications such as Rhythmbox should be changed not to use a given key or combination of keys (here we are talking about space key as a trigger for play/pause on Rhythmbox) => BUT ... a decision is to be taken : => use a media key that can be found on new keyboards (but not everybody as such a keyboard) => pick a new key combination at the cost of being less user friendly
In short, it looks like a dead end and we only have workarounds for us. -- Can't use space bar in search bar when using french alternative keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/221112 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
