This has been an annoyance since the dawn of time having a Norwegian keyboard in Linux. /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/no-latin1.map.gz - This keymap has two errors, one deliberate by the author (which is unnecessary), and one which has been reported here in 2004, but has not yet been corrected. 1: In /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/no-latin1.doc the author states: > ---- > |$�| dollar and currency > |4�| have switched places > ---- What this implies is that because the author thinks it's "practical" to switch the dollar sign and currency sign, it should be done! The Norwegian keymap has always had the dollar sign at AltGr+4, NOT Shift+4! What one person thinks should not make a keymap deviate from the correct standard. Workaround: gunzip no-latin1.map.gz, edit line 23 in no-latin1.map to keycode 5 = four currency dollar onequarter and then gzip -9 no-latin1.map 2: The bug reported here: https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63740 is still there. In line 6 the no-latin1.map states: > plain keycode 111 = Delete # "Remove" originally, weird... I don't understand where this comes from, why should pressing delete result in backspace? It's not like this anywhere else... Workaround: Remove the line altogether. The norwegian keymap bundled with Xorg has none of these problems, why should console users suffer from this? Reproducible: Always
Reassigning to base-system herd.
I see https://github.com/legionus/kbd/commit/5fff6b449182b953cda7a7d3032b4982d4b2ff35 but nothing else even barely relevant. Still an issue?
