| Subj: Bug#1117976: console-setup: Keyboard lev |
XPost: linux.debian.bugs.dist From: rimas@kudelis.lt Package: console-setup Version: 1.240 Severity: important Dear Maintainer, When freshly installing Debian 13, I have configured it to use Lithuanian keymap at startup. A secondary US keymap was also configured for me by default. The Lithuanian keymap is similar to the US keymap, but replaces the characters in the top row with accented Lithuanian letters, moving digits to level 3 (AltGr) and special characters to level 4 (AltGr+Shift). When I tried using text terminal yesterday, I noticed that Level 4 tends to lock if I don't pay close attention to how I use it. For example, to enter &&, I need to use level 4. So if I enter it by pressing AltGr, then Shift, then pressing and releasing key 7 (twice), then releasing Shift, then releasing AltGr, all seems fine. However, if I release AltGr before Shift (as I normally do), Level 4 remains in effect, and I couldn't find a way to get out of it other than pressing ^C to cancel the command I was typing and logging out of the affected console by pressing ^D. I believe this might be considered an important/major bug, because it impedes console usage in a major way and is probably not configurable separately from the X11/Wayland keymap, which is all done as a part of the normal setup experience.
