GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 536865
Keyboard Actions with alternate Keyboard Layouts are incorrect
Last modified: 2008-06-05 21:14:43 UTC
Please describe the problem: Generic Keyboard Actions such as Ctrl + C and Ctrl + V to copy and paste do not seem to use the correct keyboard layout. I use the Dvorak layout on my computer, and doing Ctrl + C will Italicize the selcetion (since the c key in dvorak is the regular i key). In order to copy, I have to use Ctrl + j (since j in dvorak is the regular c key). This is minor, but very annoying when using alternate layouts. All my other gnome applications seem to handle this fine (gedit,gnome-terminal,pidgin), which is why I think it is a tomboy bug. Steps to reproduce: 1. Set keyboard layout to Dvorak 2. Try to copy a selection in a not using the Keyboard Action (Ctrl + C) Actual results: The Selected text is italicized Expected results: The text should be copied to the clip board. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
This looks like a duplicate of bug #162726. Do you have multiple layouts set up? *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 162726 ***
Yes, I do have multiple layouts. This does look like the same issue. I had searched but not found this one, sorry, and thanks for the correction :)
