Yesterday I set up a new computer with Ubuntu 10.10 64 bit. My keyboard layout is German and I also added Russian because I use that language as well. I found that the German layout types some incorrect symbols in conjunction with Alt Gr. Alt Gr + 8 should give me an opening square bracket, but inst ...

I've been trying to get alt-gr to work under edgy on my newly acquired Thinkpad X40. As I've learned, the 'Access IBM' key should double as alt-gr by default, but under the generic 104 (US) keyboard layout and U.S. english keyboard map it's not working. I've tried remapping the key (xev indicates ke ...
I try to connect to my Ubuntu vnc server from UltraVNC from my Windows computer. My keyboard layout is Swedish.

I have Ubuntu 9.10 installed (Dutch; Keyboard: Belgian Point). Sometimes it occurs that my Alt Gr key doesn't work. I have an AZERTY keyboard so if I want to type '@', I have to press Alt GR + 2.

Just installed karmic, and I've noticed that the key-mappings when using alt-gr are quite different to in jaunty.For example, pressing (alt-gr) + (-) used to output an em-dash () but in karmic it outputs a backslash (\).Pressing (alt-gr) + (>) + (>) used to output a (≫) but in karmic o ...
again! I've been using the Kubuntu 8.10 distribution for some time now. I've been very happy with how the things have worked and I've even learned to do this and that via Konsole. However, there is one slight problem that bugs me: none of the GTK+-based software (e.g. Firefox) seems to recognize the ...
I have this problem on Ubuntu 8.0.4. The keyboard layout is Italian.Everything works well, except that in every java-based application, when run under jdk 1.6 (only) the ALT-GR on the keyboard is not recognized, and simply the "normal" character associated to the pressed key is typed. For ...
I seem to have a keyboard problem. Since upgrading to Hardy, every time I boot up the letters come out as if Alt Gr were constantly pressed (luckily I had it set to automatic login). The only way I can resolve this is by going into Keyboard Preferences and changing the keyboard model, after which it ...
I've got a small problem with both of my ubuntu Hardy Heron 64-bits installations. I can't write the @ symbol like I usually do by pressing ctrl alt and then 2. Instead I have to press alt gr and 2.

Title says it all, actually.I'd like to turn the left win-key on my Acer laptop into a second alt-gr and do the same to right menu-key too.

I use a custom XKB keymap in which I access special characters using the alt-gr key, for example alt-gr + c -> ç. Now on my Macbook Pro, the alt-gr is a little bit too far to the right for my taste, and I keep pressing the right command key instead. Since I have no need for this key, I thought I ...
Since 9.10, I lost all alt gr functionality, and I'm getting tired of copy-pasting symbols. I'm running a Dell Inspiron 6400 notebook. This is my xorg.conf:# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)## This file was generated by dexconf, the Debian X Configuration tool, using# valu ...
(repost from closed forum)By default, my Karmic 9.10 installation configured "Right Alt" key mapped to Alt-Gr functionality aka ISO_Level3_Shift.Given the changes in Karmic, I don't even understand if the binding happens in gnome, in udev, or somewhere else.For some people, having level 3 ...
I recently bought a Kohjinsha SH6 (http://www.kohjinsha.com.sg/products/outline-sh.htm) on a trip to Japan. It's a great piece of hardware, and the japanese keyboard layout (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_layout#Japanese) doesn't really bother me. What does bother me, is that I am unable to d ...

I've been searching a bit around, but haven't quite found the ideal solution to this yet.First, I'm reading things about how xmodmap is deprecated and that you should use the options in xorg.conf instead. Fair enough, although I'm not sure how in this case. I think I got it acting like the "Alt ...
Since a while, but I can't remember since when, I can't use my Alt Gr key anymore (usefull for at brackets and terminals...)I can't use them neither in terminal neither in applications such as Kile or others.In fact, I can use the altgr sometimes but then (for an unknown reson) it isn't possible any ...

I of course never really noticed this 'till I left the US and started my current exchange trip in Europe, but doesn't it seem that the "normal" alt key should be the right one and the alt-gr key should be the left?When using the computers on campus here (which don't seem to be set up to al ...

Weird issue on Jaunty x64.My "at sign" stops working after I have been using a remote desktop session on a different server. When I press AltGr + 2 (Norwegian keyboard) nothing happens. The same "at sign" is working on my virtual Vista workstation (virtualized using vmware workst ...
"Normal" and "Extra" desktop-effects makes the right alt-key break. Making such daily activities such as programming or writing an email nigh impossible, or at least very difficult, since the symbols @, £, $, , ¥, {, [, ], } and \ simply cannot be written. Disabling desktop e ...
