Title: Ubuntu update to Hardy Heron leads to key space not working anymore
Post by: Funto on April 25, 2008, 11:52:16 am
Hi all,

I've just upgraded my Linux distribution from Ubuntu Gutsy to Hardy (which did not change the Code::Blocks package apparently), and now when using the source code editor, a press on the space bar is understood by Code::Blocks as a Ctrl+space key press !

I tried to remove ~/.codeblocks but it did not change anything...

On the other hand, when I use the "Default code editor" in the settings, my space key is correctly recognized, but even disabling code completion doesn't make it recognized in the normal source code editor...

Thanks for your help ^^

Hello,

I got the same problem after a fresh Ubuntu 8.04 install.
This problem seems to occur only in the editor. In other text fields (search for example) all is fine.
Ctrl+Alt+Space is "understood" as a standard space key press.

Bye

I notice both those xorg.conf posting use the XkbVariant "oss", this is not defined in my xorg.conf which doesnt exhibit the spacebar problem.

My xorg.conf:
Code
....
Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Generic Keyboard"
	Driver		"kbd"
	Option		"XkbRules"	"xorg"
	Option		"XkbModel"	"pc105"
	Option		"XkbLayout"	"us"
EndSection
....

Barking_Mad >> You were right :) I did as specified in the topic pointed by jens' link, that is to say, I commented out the XkbVariant "oss" and it works like a charm, thanks a lot :)

My solution in this version is to change keyboard to france and pc generique 104 touches (not france autre) (menu system/preferences/clavier)
It's work for the moment.

The more recent xservers have to be configured with the hal-daemon and fdi-files.
Maybe you find some help here:

In English: I changed "france alternative" to "france" and chose a Dell laptop layout (not actually my laptop, which wasn't on the list, but close enough). Apparently everything works - fingers cross :-S

Removed non-english portions.

I fix this issue by changing keyboard layout. (french keyboard)

1 - Menu System => Preferences => Keyboard
2 - Select Tab layout
3 - Click "Layout options..."
4 - Expand last option "Using space key to input non-breakable space character"
5 - Select the last choice "Usual Space at any level"

I know it's not system wide, just for the current user (well I suppose) but...

That's it.
