[partially regression?] almost none of the AltGr+number keys on the pinephone keyboard work as intended
Describe your issue
(reopened since still broken on Plasma Mobile, works on Phosh)
(updated to reflect that AltGR+number keys is the way to do it)
Almost none of the AltGr+number keys on the pinephone keyboard work as intended. Most just spit out ~
, including when I try to type -
, _
, =
, and +
. Since -
used to work at least (I remember _
being broken though), this appears to be at least in part a regression. I would suggest this is actually a notable usability problem because it's not possible to turn off the auto toggle of the on-screen keyboard either - it's only possible to disable it entirely. That however is entirely impractical when things as basic as -
can't be typed anymore. So it would be helpful for practical use of the physical keyboard if these extra functions worked.
What's the expected behaviour?
All the AltGr + number keys result in the expected characters
What's the current behaviour?
See above, most result in a different key of some sort. I don't know what's going wrong there though. Works now on Phosh, but still broken on Plasma Mobile as per comments below
How to reproduce your issue?
Try to use a couple of AltGr + number keys on the pinephone keyboard on a fresh install
