From: Vasily Korytov <vasily <at> korytov.pp.ru> To: bug-gnu-emacs <at> gnu.org Subject: bug#838: [patch] `russian-computer' input method is wrong at the backslash key Date: Sun, 31 Aug 2008 19:19:12 +0400
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug and the precise symptoms of the bug: I do `M-x set-input method' and select `russian-computer'. I expect this keyboard layout to correspond `ru(winkeys)' XKB variant, MS Windows keyboard layout and other implementations (at least, the comments in /usr/share/emacs/22.2/leim/quail/cyrillic.el say they it should be so). Actually, `russian-computer' input method fails to correspond other implementations (all, that I'm aware of) of Windows-style keyboard layout: X.org, Linux console, Windows, etc in exactly one key: the backslash key. In QWERTY layout, as well as in Emacs `russian-computer' input method it generates backslash (\) with no modifier and pipe (|) with `Shift' modifier. In Windows-style Russian keyboard it should generate backslash (\) with no modifier, but slash (/) with `Shift' modifier. I know a lot of implementations of this style Russian layout (as opposed to the typewriter variations), they're all the same and have slash on shift+backslash. The only exception, I met up to today is Emacs `russian-computer' input mode. Attaching the patch to fix this. Thanks. If Emacs crashed, and you have the Emacs process in the gdb debugger, please include the output from the following gdb commands: `bt full' and `xbacktrace'. If you would like to further debug the crash, please read the file /usr/share/emacs/22.2/etc/DEBUG for instructions.
