Description office 2011-02-25 16:54:22 UTC

Version:           2.4.3 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

I experience that konsole offers only "Linux-Konsole", "Solaris-Konsole" and "Standard (XFree 4)" as possible choices for keyboard encodings.

Not really satisfying.  I manually had to copy an old x11r5.keytab from my other workstation to this new setup workstation to get all keys working again as they should.

You should keep as much keytabs available as possible! They cost only minimal space and make konsole much more useful.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Simply go to setup of konsole, TAB "Input", and see.

Well, I guess the main reason is not space, but the popularity or the burden of maintenace.

Here is the related commit log :

- Move the Vt100 and XFree 3.xx keyboard layouts into /historic.  They are still in the repository but are no longer included in the default installation.
- Do not install VT420 keyboard layout.  I am told it doesn't work (BR:170220) and in any case I don't have a unit test to verify either way.
