Description freedesktop 2011-06-19 03:57:29 UTC 
In xkb/symbols/de the “nodeadkey” variant defines dead_belowdot (a dead key) to AB10 – overwriting the important endash and emdash defines

Replacing frequently needed characters with a dead-key in a nodeadkeys variant seems to be some strange kind of humor.
Comment 1 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2011-08-07 06:49:00 UTC 
Should AB10 mapping be just removed from that variant? Or you have better suggestion?
Comment 2 freedesktop 2011-08-09 13:35:14 UTC 
For me this would be O.K.
I have no better Idea.
Comment 3 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2011-08-10 13:44:20 UTC 
ok, committed. thanks for the hint
