Sorry for the delay.  I've just checked your patch into the Emacs
repository; it will be included in the Emacs 23.2 release.  (There are
no Russians in the development team AFAIK, so we'll take your word for
it that the layout is correct.)

Thanks.

[Message part 4 (text/plain, inline)]

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:

Russian `typewriter' keyboard layout actually has number keys in upper
case (i. e. punctuation is in lower) and Yo key in the bottom row.

E. g. the following article contains evidence (such as late 19 century
layouts, 20 century layouts, soviet computer layouts):
<http://www.artlebedev.com/mandership/105/>.

As well, the classic typewriter layout (with one minor change -- mapping
`|' instead of `§'` on the tilde key, `Russian Typewriter' computer
layout is implemented widely, e. g. in virtual keyboards:
<http://ourworld.compuserve.com/homepages/paulGor/screen_e.htm>.

But Emacs 22.2 has own standard for `russian-typewriter' input method.
Probably, borrowed from some other map. Indeed, there're a lot of
variations of `Russian Typewriter' implementation, a real mess.

In fact, I've already seen on the Net some Lisp files to implement a
correct typewriter layout (at least, in the number keys region) in
Emacs.

The patch, I'm proposing, makes `russian-typewriter' method behave like
a real Russian typewriter (except § key) or a Russian computer. I think,
it's better to fix the problem, that making users of
`russian-typewriter' implement a custom input method.
