Subject: [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.
