Physical keys to generate shift states ssSuper and ssHyper

Thanks winni. This is getting off-topic, but: the region was already set to British English so I added a second language and selected British English.  It made no difference.  The only way that I've found to correct it is to revisit system settings -> input devices -> keyboard and hardware layout -> layouts, and then unclick and re-click the configure layouts with gb english selected.  It shouldn't be necessary -- Plasma shouldn't be being so bloody minded -- which is why I think it's something to raise on a KDE forum rather than this forum.  But thanks for trying to help.

I know, it's an old thread, but it sounds suspiciously like your problem.

Have you tried to reconfigure keyboard-config AND console-setup (Post #8 in the link)?

Thanks for the suggestion Zvoni, but dpkg is a Debian utility and my distro is from the RedHat-type family.  I'll need to find out what the equivalent commands are in my environment.

Hi!

I don't know if it's a good idea to replace "British English" with "British English".
Think about the always used code

Code: Pascal  [Select][+][-]

1. if newValue = oldValue then exit;

Take another language to look if something changes.

Red Hat has a very well online documentation:

But I don't know: Is it allowed for a European to use Red Hat??  ;-)

Yum is the apt-get, rpm is dpkg (as far as i could find out)

Shouldn't this long standing issue be addressed somehow? With platform directives, for example. I understand there were some very rare keyboards with Meta, Super and Hyper keys some 45+ years ago, but modern Lazarus more oriented on Windows, Linux and BSD variations, where there are no Meta and Hyper keys, and Win key is Super key. And not just ShiftStates, but also TextToShortCut and ShortCutToText needs to be more universal. TextToShortCut needs to accept both Win and Super. May be use ssSuper by default in Windows and non-Darwin BSD leaving ssMeta as alias for compatibility with older code.
