Suggestion for a new keyboard map

Bug Description

Hello,

The current vkeybd keyboard map gives you only an octave and a half, because it uses only the two middle rows of the keyboard. I have created a keyboard map which allows you to use the full three octaves. It also starts from C on every line, which is nice, I think.

I will attach it to this bug.

Have a good day,
Noam

Awesome, great. I made a keymap myself but this one's pretty good. I recommend this for the next package update.

Is this symptom still relevant in 8.10?

Can you elaborate on what information is missing?
vkeybd has a default keyboard map which isn't very efficient. I wrote another one. If you put it in "~/.vkeybdmap" it gives you a better keyboard map. I suggest that it becomes the default one.

@Noam, is possible that you try to reproduce this issue in latest Ubuntu Karmic version?, because has been passed a long time since this report was filled and probably was solved in newer version.

Best regards

I just checked with Karmic. vkeybd includes the same default keymap
which it had then.

I installed vkeybd from Ubuntu 12.10 (vkeyboard v1.9) and it came with a standard 3 octaves (not an octave and a half). I consider this closed.
