This isn't related to "xkeyboard-config" (what is that, is that a program?), but to GNOME Control Center and how keyboards are handled in general. The properties being described are set in gnome-keyboard- properties, so:
faf...@lornvelpa:~$ dpkg -S `which gnome-keyboard-properties` gnome-control-center: /usr/bin/gnome-keyboard-properties This bug is EXTREMELY annoying to me, as I have to open the keyboard layout properties every time I plug in a keyboard, to set up my modifiers -- which, mind you, I'm not actually changing, but just opening the preferences app, and then clicking 'ok' to close. Once you put the Control key in it's "correct" spot -- next to 'A' -- you simply cannot go back ;-) -- also, loss and configuration of Compose key, and other modifiers key locationsm, is confounding. This also looks to be tightly coupled to ticket #376592 , especially the comments related to how to set external keyboards plugged into laptops. To that bug, I would say, also factor in a users's .xmodmap, which GNOME notifies users that it reads on start-up, and effects the main keyboard, so should be applied to external ones, possibly (definitely, if keycodes are the same). -- Layout options not honored for second keyboard https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/373297 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
