Please at least include a new DIN variant if this behavior cannot be kept as standard. There are several words in the German dictionary requiring French accents, but I can't think of one requiring a Spanish accent right now. I personally am far more likely to use the 'tilde' key for specifying a directory on Linux than needing the ñ character. The layouts 'nodeadkeys' and 'deadgraveacute' are not valid alternatives, as they do not show the desired behavior. Pressing the ~ key directly results in a ~ character. The default German keyboard layout on Windows and the DIN norm definitely do not have 'tilde' as a dead key (I'm using this layout right now). Do I understand that right that in both Windows and DIN tilde
> I would prefer to stick to Windows and DIN standard (especially if they are If you really need nodeadkeys and notildedeadkeys, then create this xkbvariant as a additional layout, but please, don't remove the old behavior.! Now we have nodeadkeys twice and lost the default deadkeys. In this layout you don't have to press to keys in sequence to get ~. And to create a special key sequence on all my computers to be able to write a ñ, is not really nice.įor the people who don't want dead-keys exists xkbvariant nodeadkeys. I guess, like me, many people think, the new behavior is a bug. A lot of people were used to the old behavior. To make the story short: It's a breaking change. After more searching I found this bug report. I stumbled into a thread in a debian-forum how to use setxkbmap. A few months later this behavior became annoying. I'm using Gentoo and xorg-server-1.13 was still marked as unstable. I would prefer to have the ~ deadkey in Windows or Cygwin too.īut same as joehni I noticed some weeks ago, that ñ didn't work anymore. I'm using Linux because it isn't behaving like Windows.
But I don't think it's a good idea to turn the linux behavior into the windows one. I love Cygwin and use it every day at work. In the objective was to adopt cygwin to windows.
