[Bug 770354] [NEW] Keyboard responds badly on some keys (bad symbols output)

 

Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: xorg

When I press certain keys, I expect I'll get the keys on the keyboard in
my layout, I get bad ones instead though. Even when it is the right
keystrokes that work well even in Windows and on Mac, even the symbols
are printed on the keyboard. This needs to be patched. Problem is the
symbols are mapped on different keys, some symbols have been duplicated.
Maybe new keyboard layout should be made, some users sure used to this
"buggy" layout. I made a new one where all errors I've found are already
corrected. I attach new layout in the patchfile.

lsb_release is not relevant as this problem persists at least for 6
years in every distro I used (Ubuntu, Debian, Fedora, Linux Mint,
etc...)

P.S.: The patchfile was made from:

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/cz

Best regards
Lukáš Mojžíš
