Now yóu know you typed a Q, but all the computer knows is that you typed in a specific key with multiple translations. For instance (not entirely sure about the specific layout of the fr-iso keyboard, so forgive me if this is exaggerated) you could type the 'Q' key on the USB-keyboard, but the computer would have to interpret it as "'Q' or 'A'". On itself, this shouldn't be too much of an issue, if it weren't for the fact that this translation process takes place within the software, rather than in the keyboard, making it (near) impossible for the computer to know which one to use. You're not asking it to use two languages side-by-side, you're asking it to use those two languages simultaniously, so basically to consider 2 outputs for a single input, and let the computer choose which one to use. Now i know it's possible for a brain (and a computer) to learn 2 languages side-by-side, but what you're asking of the pc is a bit different. I may not have a lot of experience with coding, software engineering or even with linux systems, but i do know one thing: a computer, no matter what system it uses, is mostly based on the human brain. I'm lost with xkb, and manual mapping is very complicated. Secondly: The image of the layout for FR is buggy, the layout is not ISO, but I can press on the key at the left of right Shift without any problem! You can see the image here (french alternative with ANSI layout ? it's crazy ?) : It's very complicated and it seem Ubuntu 12.04 still has a problem with the keyboard manager because all works great with these two commands, but that doesn't change anything in the System parameters → Keyboard !!! Ok, it seems I can switch the physical layout (ISO ANSI) with this command in the terminal: setxkbmap -layout us It seem it's impossible in Ubuntu and "dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" to share two different physical layout (ANSI and EU ISO) on the same computer. Ok, I'll explain the problem a bit better: I have one laptop with an integrated French keyboard, and I want to use my USB keyboard to use an English, US layout. Now I can see the good US layout in the parameters, but I cannot choose the iso layout for French usage. It seems after a "sudo dpkg-reconfigure keyboard-configuration" :įrench standard keyboard pc105 + precision M65 keyboard from dell laptop Here you can see there is probably a bug in Ubuntu, because the layout for USA with dead key is not correct !Īnd other users have this for the same layout: I searched on Google, but I couldn't find any other user which has the same problem. I searched for a template of a normal ANSI US-INTERNATIONAL for xmodmap/xkb, and after that I ccould try to manually map the other keys. so it's the same problem with the reduced version and only 84 keys. My problem is simple, there is no keyboard layout into Ubuntu 12.04 which corresponds to this English, US keyboard layout. This specific keyboard only has 84 keys, a 60% ( compact tenkeyless) reduced layout. I recently bought a "noppoo choc mini" with this specific ANSI US-INTERNATIONAL pc84 layout
