Keyboards comes with those +little keys that are meant to produce accented characters in +combination with regular letters, and this how it works on Windows, +the platform most users will migrate from, and also on Mac OS X. + +Regular users don't have any use of stand-alone-accent-characters. And +even with deadkeys it is easy to produce the standalone accent by just +pressing the key twice (so you can get backticks easily). +If you're a programmer and are using a nodeadkeys variant for that +reason, you're not the target population of a suggested default. (If +you know what is meant with "deadkeys" and "nodeadkeys", you're not in +target of that dialog, and have the knowledge to not accept the +default, but choose the nodeadkeys variant that is listed right next +to the regular variant). + +The variant with deadkeys is called "German" without any addition for +a reason. If nodeadkeys were the expected/more common choice, then it +would be "German (international)" or "German (deadkeys)", like it is +the case for the US-variants. + +ciao +Christian +</PRE> + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + + +<!--endarticle--> + <HR> + <P><UL> + <!--threads--> + <LI>Previous message: <A HREF="015441.html">[Mageia-dev] [soft-commits] [4436] german keyboard: default to variant with enabled deadkeys instead of "nodeadkeys variant" ( mga#3791) +</A></li> + <LI>Next message: <A HREF="015454.html">[Mageia-dev] [soft-commits] [4436] german keyboard: default to variant with enabled deadkeys instead of "nodeadkeys variant" ( mga#3791) +</A></li> + <LI> <B>Messages sorted by:</B> + <a href="date.html#15442">[ date ]</a> + <a href="thread.html#15442">[ thread ]</a> + <a href="subject.html#15442">[ subject ]</a> + <a href="author.html#15442">[ author ]</a> + </LI> + </UL> + +<hr> +<a href="https://www.mageia.org/mailman/listinfo/mageia-dev">More information about the Mageia-dev +mailing list</a><br> +</body></html> |
