• Bug#1063728: keyboard-configuration: format of XKBOPTIONS not specified

    From Michael Gold@21:1/5 to All on Sun Feb 11 21:00:02 2024

    Package: keyboard-configuration
    Version: 1.226
    Severity: minor

    Dear Maintainer,

    /etc/default/keyboard refers to "the keyboard(5) manual page", which
    says:
    XKBOPTIONS
    Specifies the XKB keyboard option components. Options usually
    relate to the behavior of the special keys (<Shift>, <Control>,
    <Alt>, <CapsLock>, etc.) Default: not set.

    This does not say how multiple options should be separated. Luckily,
    there are examples suggesting the value can be a comma-separated list
    with no whitespace.

    The actual expectations should be stated explicitly, and the same goes
    for XKBVARIANT.

    - Michael
