Description Ross Burton 2005-12-03 02:41:00 UTC
The UK keysms in xkb/symbols/macintosh/gb doesn't define all of the keys on the
British server.  Debian has a patch to fix this:

Fix a few problems with the U.K. Macintosh keyboard layout:
  * Map <TLDE> key to "section, plusminus".
  * Map <LSGT> key to "quoteleft, asciitilde".
  * Map AltGr+<AE02> to "EuroSign".
  * Include group(switch) symbols so that the already-defined mapping
    of AltGr+<AE03) to "numbersign" can be used.

Attaching the patch they use, which I can confirm is working excellently without
any modifications on my new Apple UK USB keyboard.

(apologies for the vague product/component, there are quite a few...)

Patch

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=201737 is the rather
long-winded story of how Debian eventually matched Apple in the behaviour of
the keyboard.

Ross, is this patch still relevant and required for xkeyboard-config? Could you
please confirm?

Add Euro sign to 2

Sergey, the only missing bit now is the EuroSign on key 2.
Here is a patch.

Fixed patch

Oops, EuroSign was misspelt.

Happy to commit it. But look what we came to - duplicated code, double patches.
Sad, isn't it?;)
Comment 6 Sergey V. Udaltsov 2006-10-03 15:25:48 UTC
Committed anyway
