Forwarding this patch from Ubuntu reporter Martin von Gagern: https://bugs.edge.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xkeyboard-config/+bug/327963
Please:
- make macintosh_vndr/de(mac_nodeadkeys) an alias for macintosh_vndr/de(nodeadkeys)
- Do the same for the deadkeys variant
- Do the same for languages other than "de" with similar configuration The attached patch tries to follow this approach. I grepped fro '"mac' in symbols/* and then made sure the same variants were included as aliases in symbols/macintosh_vndr/*. Not tested yet.
You might, on the other hand, be of the opinion that having different names for the same symbols is not the way to go, and that instead of providing these aliases at the xkb-data level, the user interface should prevent the user from selecting such combinations. In that case, another bug for the Gnome control-center would be in order, while you might mark this as invalid for xkeyboard-config.
