Hi all, this is a call for volunteers. I am hoping that certain developers participating in another thread are willing to rewrite the keyboard code, but we need people to test. If you are interested, please reply here saying that you are interested, and what kind of keyboard you use, as well as the layout you use under X. I will be creating a wiki page for this project once the people who will be taking on this rewrite confirm that they will do so, and will post the link to this thread as soon as it is created.
The purpose of this rewrite is to (hopefully) fix all of the problems people have with key mappings, characters not showing up as expected, race conditions, characters not showing up at all, etc, and hopefully allow us to close out many of the bugs in bugzilla having to do with the keyboard.
Thanks all in advance
Tom
If this is about testing, I'll gladly help. I use a German SUN Type6 keyboard (only one control key, Compose key, SUN keys instead of Windows keys, no menu key) with German layout and swapcaps. I also used to use an application that crashes due to a regression in Wine's keyboard handling it seems - could be a nice test app.
