OVERVIEW

Lithuanian (lt) keyboard layout has not, so called, Default variant, as it is in KDE 4.2.2. Default lt variant has Lithuanian letters on 12345678 and = keys and this variant is used widely in Lithuania. All keyboards in Lithuania's market have imprinted Lithuanian letters according to "Default" variant so it's very important to bring it back as Lithuanians are forced to switch to other GUI, which has it.

1) Right-click on Keyboard layout applet on top panel.
2) Press Add button, unfold Lithuania.

ACTUAL RESULTS

There are these keyboard layout variants:
-IBM (LST 1205-92)
-LEKP
-LEKPa

-US keyboard with Lithuanian letters

EXPECTED RESULTS

There shuold be this variant also:
-Default

This should be reported against the xkb-data package, the Lithuanian layouts are defined in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/lt which is part of xkb-data.

/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/lt is correct, there is a desired layout:

==========================================
// Lithuanian Baltic layout - Lithuanian letters on the numeric row
partial default alphanumeric_keys modifier_keys
xkb_symbols "basic" {

    include "latin"

    name[Group1]="Lithuania";

    key <AE01>	{ [   aogonek,      Aogonek,        1,      exclam ]	};
    key <AE02>	{ [    ccaron,       Ccaron,        2,          at ]	};
    key <AE03>	{ [   eogonek,      Eogonek,        3,  numbersign ]	};
    key <AE04>	{ [ eabovedot,    Eabovedot,        4,      dollar ]	};
    key <AE05>	{ [   iogonek,      Iogonek,        5,     percent ]	};
    key <AE06>	{ [    scaron,       Scaron,        6, asciicircum ]	};
    key <AE07>	{ [   uogonek,      Uogonek,        7,   ampersand ]	};
    key <AE08>	{ [   umacron,      Umacron,        8,    asterisk ]	};
    key <AE09>	{ [doublelowquotemark,  parenleft,  9,   parenleft ] };
    key <AE10>	{ [leftdoublequotemark,parenright,  0,  parenright ] };
    key <AE12>	{ [    zcaron,       Zcaron,    equal,        plus ]	};

    key <LSGT>	{ [    endash,   EuroSign   ]	};

    include "level3(ralt_switch)"
};
=========================================

I can't, however, select this "basic" variant in (right-clicking on Keyboard layout applet on the top panel, pressing add button) Lithuania section.

Should I have to report it against the xkb-data package yet?
Comment 3 Alexander Iliev 2009-05-07 14:03:09 CEST
Hmm, try selecting the Lithuania section itself.

If this is what I suspect it is, then I should really fix it. Currently there's a default layout for each section, which can be selected by clicking on the section itself, but that's not really intuitive, so it should really be fixed.

Yes, clicking on the Lithuania section itself selects Default (Basic) layout variant, where Lithuanian letters are on the numeric row. I found it only when You've told me that, so You're right, it's not really intuitive.

Thanks :)
