GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 159284
Second group keyboard - Alt key changes to Button6
Last modified: 2010-07-31 06:12:24 UTC
Setup primary/secondary keyboards in X, e.g.: XFree86Config-4: Option "XkbLayout" "czsk(us_cz_qwertz)" Keyboard shortcuts setting: pressing e.g. Alt + F1: * primary keyboard (english): yields A-F1 * secondary keyboard (czech): yields Button6-F1 However, xev reports for left Alt key in BOTH keyboards keysym Alt_L: KeyRelease event, serial 27, synthetic NO, window 0x1c00001, root 0x40, subw 0x0, time 4800836, (-680,352), root:(416,374), state 0x2010, keycode 64 (keysym 0xffe9, Alt_L), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: "" As a result of the inconsistency, it is not possible to use the same keyboard shortcuts in both keyboards.
Sorry for messing with this bug, my mistake, wrong window :(
