Pinephone physical keyboard, no way to type minus sign

Open vandys opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

With the clip-on keyboard in place for a Pinephone, typing is wonderful (and works well). But a number of symbols reached via the Fn key (in particular Fn + 7 -> dash/minus) instead give a tilde sign. Hard to type command options!

Work around is to bring up the screen keyboard to peck in the missing symbol (ouch).

I've fiddled with xmodmap, but it looks like this mapping happens at a deeper level?

We might need this: https://github.com/freedesktop/xkeyboard-config/commit/8b4ca4168059f80330e792ffc432bf037fec90ff

yes, hoping it doesn't depend on some other intermediate commit. i guess it should be cherry-picked then someone with ppkb can test to confirm
