KDE problems with russian letters
Hi,
I have discovered that KDE has some problems with the Russian keyboard group/characters set (I tested it on KUbuntu and OpenSuse 10.2 (both x86) and same results/troubles): 1. If one changes the current keyboard group from English to Russian the available shortcuts in any application stop working. It affects those shortcuts that have a 'letter' such as Ctrl+F, Ctrl+S, but does not affect shortcuts that don't contain letters such as Alt+F2. (For example, in Firefox 2.0: While using English group press Ctrl+F and you can start searching, change group to Russian and press Ctrl+F - doesn't work anymore). 2. Keyboard layout switching. Same thing. One has to assing such a shortcut that it does NOT contain letters because otherwise there comes up a trouble: switching stops working when the keyboard group changes to 'ru' (Russian). Example: say I have three keyboard groups enabled: English, Russian and Polish. I chose to switch groups with Ctrl+Shift+L, since there's uses a letter in the shortcut ('L') - the switching stops working once it gets to the russian keyboard group. Workaround - don't use letters in shortcuts. I personally chose to switch keyboard groups using Ctrl+Shift+PAGE_DOWN. I haven't found a workaround for the 1st issue. I hope the KDE group is aware of it. |
I had this problem before and somewhere found the solution... =) (for both issues! and it works for russian and any other non-latin-letters language...)
1.Open Control center 2.Go to "Regional & Accessibility" 3.Go to "Keyboard Layout" 4.Select your non-latin-letters language (in your case, russian) 5.Check the "include latin layout" button (it's in the bottom of the window) 6.Restart KDE (needed??) 7.Be happy! :D |

Meanwhile, Iīve found this add-on - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3529
which can workaround the problem. However, it is not a real solution. |

If you press [alt]-f while in the russian layout you are pressing [alt]-в instead. Can you add an [alt]-в shortcut?

Note:in fact the f, while in the russian layout is a а and not a в... so he could try to add [Ctl]-а as shortcut. |
