Pressing a key should generate what is printed on the key. Nothing else. Breaking a working and well-known behavior IS a misfeature. For my Portuguese (pt_BR) language too. The comma is the decimal delimiter and the point is used to group numbers. But the key has a point printed on it, not a comma. As I said, Brazilians who have American keyboards use the us-intl keymap. The keymap is the same from decades, including in other operating systems. > > I find it irritating that all browsers I tried don't get this right: > Epiphany and Galeon display a comma in the URL field, but a point in > text entry boxes of web pages. Mozilla displays a point everywhere. Yes. Using the keypad, I can't type IP addresses in the terminal anymore because it prints commas. And in OOo Calc, it prints points.
