GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 132833
Ctrl shortcuts don't work while a non-English keyboard layout is selected
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
I use a Russian keyboard layout pretty often in a terminal, but I want Ctrl-A, Ctrl-E etc. to keep their usual bindings even when a Russian layout is selected. Which means those should translate, respectively, to ^A, ^E, etc. in the terminal input. Xterm and rxvt got that right.
This is done in vte_terminal_key_press, right Nalin?
Yes. Most of the heavy lifting for regular keys is done in _vte_keymap_map, though. Does the X server give the widget different events in this case, or is something else causing a different sequence to be sent to the PTY?
Just for the record, I fixed this a year ago, and logged bug 126956. Seems that it hasn't been looked at since. Please test and review my patch. Thanks for bringing it up again!
