I use a keyboard layout (bépo, an ergonomic layout adapted to French) that uses modifier keys on Space key: AltGr + Space to type an underscore (Shift and Shift + AltGr are also used for special spaces). But since my update to Plasma5, it does not work anymore: regardless the modifier keys, when I press the space bar, I always have a standard space. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Switch to a keyboard layout that uses modifier keys on Space key (like bépo) 2. Try to type an underscore (AltGr + Space) Actual Results: The typed character is a standard space. Expected Results: The typed character should be an underscore. After searching a bit, I think this problem is that plasma manages the space bar differently. Anyway, I checked the configuration of the keyboard layout and it should work. /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/fr: […] xkb_symbols "bepo" { […] key <SPCE> { [space, nobreakspace, underscore, U202F ] }; //normal, Shift, AltGr, Shit + AlgGr […] }; […]
