** Description changed:
+ [Impact]
+ The latin keyboard map lacks functionality to do dead_hook and dead_horn
characters, which makes it inconvenient to type Vietnamese characters.
+
+ [Development Fix]
+ Patch from reporter was accepted upstream, and included in precise as a
cherrypick of what went up.
+
+ [Stable Fix]
+ We're carrying the same xkeyboard-config in both quantal and precise
currently, so can carry the same patch both places.
+
+ [Test Case]
+ 1. Set keyboard map to latin
+ 2. Type the 3rd and 4th level on the j key
+
+ Broken Behavior: No character printed
+ Fixed Behavior: 3rd level places a hook under characters, 4th puts a horn on
top.
+
+ [Regression Potential]
+ None expected, this adds functionality to previously unused keys.
+
+ Possibly some people have locally mapped j to other key behaviors, but
+ seems unlikely, and they can just as easily locally re-map it again if
+ they prefer.
+
+ [Original Report]
Because I occasionally type in Vietnamese, but not with sufficient frequency
to learn a completely different keyboard layout, I find it most useful to add
dead_hook and dead_horn to the latin keyboard layout (as imported from the
Maori layout). I had thought this a minor enough issue to just leave the patch
on my own system but it got overwritten last time I did a distribution upgrade.
The added deadkeys are on level 3 and 4 of the J key, which were previously
unused.
