Bug 344899 – some keys do not work with german (de) keyboard layout with neo2

• Status: RESOLVED NEEDINFO
• Product: Gentoo Linux

[Description Serge Ratke 2010-11-10 08:07:16 UTC]

i have a Logitech | Logitech Internet Keyboard configured and all the keys, such as Ctrl + Fn keys to switch between the virtual desktops, or Meta + Space to summon KRunner, do work well; with the Standard Layout selected. However, as soon as i change to German Layout with Neo2, the aforementioned key strokes stop to function; no switching between desktops, and no KRunner.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Switch to German Keyboard
2. Select Neo2 Layout
3. Hit Ctrl + Fn to switch between virtual desktops

Actual Results:  
No switching between virtual desktops

So, the quiz question probably is: which modifier key on the Neo2 layout takes the role of Ctrl, which one the role of Meta. Anyone any clue?

i give up. according to the layout on the neo-layout.org ctrl and alt remain at their place. the function keys are not mentioned at all.

am i missing something obvious?
