Status: Accepted Owner: allber...@gmail.com Labels: Component-Contrib Type-Defect Usability New issue 554 by allber...@gmail.com: mkKeymap (hence additionalKeysP) doesn't handle NLS characters http://code.google.com/p/xmonad/issues/detail?id=554 What steps will reproduce the problem? 1. Try to use a national language character such as ù in a keybinding with `additionalKeysP` 2. Observe that the keybinding doesn't work What is the expected output? What do you see instead? If you dump the resulting key bindings from the XConfig, the key is not present at all, even in a mangled form The following code is part of XMonad.Util.EZConfig: -- | Parse an unmodified basic key, like @\"x\"@, @\"<F1>\"@, etc. parseKey :: ReadP KeySym parseKey = parseRegular +++ parseSpecial -- | Parse a regular key name (represented by itself). parseRegular :: ReadP KeySym parseRegular = choice [ char s >> return k | (s,k) <- zip ['!'..'~'] [xK_exclam..xK_asciitilde] ] -- | Parse a special key name (one enclosed in angle brackets). parseSpecial :: ReadP KeySym parseSpecial = do _ <- char '<' key <- choice [ string name >> return k | (name,k) <- keyNames ] _ <- char '>' return key Note that the only options here are literal characters in the range '!' through '~', or specific named sequences. Neither NLS characters outside the /[!-~]/ range nor hex keysyms of the form supported by many Xlib-based mechanisms and widely used for Unicode symbols are supported. -- You received this message because this project is configured to send all issue notifications to this address.
