Cannot type "<" in textentry when using keyboard layout "us"
Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Current Behavior
When binding a key to type a string of text which includes "<", it will instead type ">" if your keyboard layout is set to "us"
Expected Behavior
Text Entry should type exactly the text inputted regardless of keyboard layout
Steps To Reproduce
- Set your keyboard layout to "us". E.g.,
setxkbmap us - Use the "Advanced" mode to bind a button to type "I <3 antimicrox"
- Try it out and observe "I >3 Antimicrox"
- Change your keyboard layout to "us intl". E.g.,
setxkbmap us intl - Try the binding again and observe "I <3 antimicrox"
Environment
- OS: Debian 11
- AntiMicroX version: 3.2.2Anything else?
Apparently this is not an uncommon challenge. See this comment for a good explanation.
