Colin Watson (cjwatson) wrote : Right Control level-5 mapping in fr(oss) causing confusion

Hi Nicolas,

A while back, Ubuntu switched over to using your fr(oss) XKB variant for
French users by default. Since then, we've had a certain amount of
confusion regarding how the right Control key is mapped:

  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/198759
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-server/+bug/208224

symbols/oss has:

    include "level5(rctrl_switch)"

This seems to be for the benefit of exactly one key, the narrow
non-breaking space. Is this really worth it, since it seems to be
causing confusion? Would it be reasonable for us to drop this mapping
and let the right Control key act the same way as the left?

Thanks,
