This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
In GNU Emacs 20.7.2 (i386-debian-linux-gnu, X toolkit)
of Tue Jun 20 2000 on raven
configured using `configure i386-debian-linux-gnu --prefix=/usr
--sharedstatedir=/var/lib --libexecdir=/usr/lib --localstatedir=/var/lib
--infodir=/usr/share/info --with-pop=yes --with-x=yes --with-x-toolkit=yes'
Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
I have been trying to get quail.el to work with my German keyboard. I
wrote this piece of code and put it in my ~/.emacs.el :
(require 'quail)
(add-to-list
'quail-keyboard-layout-alist
'("pc-german" . "\
\
\136\260\ 1!2\"3\247\ 4$5%6&7/8(9)0=\337?'` \
qQwWeErRtTzZuUiIoOpP\374\334+* \
aAsSdDfFgGhHjJkKlL\366\326\344\304#' \
<>yYxXcCvVbBnNmM,;.:-_ \
"))
(quail-set-keyboard-layout "pc-german")
This seems do suffer from several problems: Keys to the left of the
"1" and the "z" key (y on a German keyboard) seem to confuse quail
when not set to " ". Keys with codevalues >128 are seemingly mapped
to something weird and produce very absurd keys.
When asking for help about the current keyboard layout after e.g. a
C-x RET l Cyrillic-ISO RET with C-h I, I obtain the
error 'Args out of range: "<start of my string>", 178'.
Now, the quail help buffer has some spectacular mismappings (which I
would like to paste hear, but set-buffer-file-coding-system on this
buffer does not work :( )
Now I do not know any further. Are these bugs or did I do sth. wrong?
