Hi arky,

Thanks. I looked at integrating your patch but had some uncertainty in how best to integrate it, so I've just gone ahead and forwarded it upstream. It's too late for their next release (coming in the next day or so) but perhaps it can get in for the release after. In any case, once they've integrated it, we should be able to pull it from them.

Thank you Bryce !

[Sergey V. Udaltsov (svu)]

Will go in after release.

In symbols/in there is already "deva" section. What's the purpose and difference of this one? Some background would be nice to have.

What would be the proper id for it in symbols/in (of course, not "basic")? Proper name? ("India - ????"). Thanks

arky, upstream is asking you for some more information. Please answer their questions on the upstream bug.

WX notation is a phonetic keyboard layout for hindi, it is easier than the standard Hindi (Deva )

Thanks for your contribution, arky.

Where can I find unicode/hex value for dead_V? dead_V is added to English letter "V".

[pan (panemade)]

opening this as we need to fix dead_V I guess.

[Sergey V. Udaltsov (svu)]

Could you please explain me, what is "dead v"? How would you use it as a deadkey?

In /usr/share/X11/locale/*/Compose files I do not see any reference to dead_v, it means currently no Compose sequences are using it.

Is this question to me. Then sorry I don't know. I just want to know why dead_V is written in this map and why not to keep it empty?

[Sergey V. Udaltsov (svu)]

Yes, I asked you (sorry, your name is not available in bugzilla).

Well, I do not know. Probably Bryce should ask in Launchpad

  Sorry. I should have filled that already.

Beats me. But you can ask the original reporter via this:

I will say remove that "dead_V"

[Sriramchaudhury (sriramchaudhury)]

@parag: The dead_V key is used as a dead key for writing unicode characters ऎ and matra ॆ which is generally not used in hindi but in other Indian languages.

So for wx-keymap for hindi we can remove it, but for other Indian language wx-keymap, it is useful.

There is no "dead_V" keysym, i.e. it doesn't do anything. I think we should remove it, and if you want, add a real keysym instead.

[Sergey V. Udaltsov (svu)]

So should anything be fixed, if we do not have any "dead V" currently in the code?
