[Bug 81994] Re: Japanese pc 106 keyboard closing curley brace is showing |

 

I would also like to add report things I have found out regarding the
bug which I hope would help in debugging the problem.

I am not really knowledgeable on this, but with the help of the
internet, I tried looking at the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/jp file and
the key layout seems to be according to what I was expecting.

Below is a part of the file:

    key <AC01> { [ a, A                 ] };
    key <AC02> { [ s, S                 ] };
    key <AC03> { [ d, D                 ] };
    key <AC04> { [ f, F                 ] };
    key <AC05> { [ g, G                 ] };
    key <AC06> { [ h, H                 ] };
    key <AC07> { [ j, J                 ] };
    key <AC08> { [ k, K                 ] };
    key <AC09> { [ l, L                 ] };
    key <AC10> { [ semicolon, plus      ] };
    key <AC11> { [ colon, asterisk      ] };
    key <AC12> { [ bracketright, braceright ] };

The key that is not working properly is the <AC12>. It is now currently
outputting "\" and "|" instead of "]" and "}".

I have also noticed an interesting observation:
There is no such thing as AC12 on a normal US keyboard. (There are only 11 character keys on the row - asdfghjkl;'). However, if I switch the layout to US, the AC12 key (since I am using a Japanese keyboard it has the 12th key) will also output "\" and "|".
