On the same keyboard with ubuntu 16.04, the midpoint (U+00B7) has been accessible with AltGr + Shift + & (key 1, upper left)
In ubuntu 20.04, none of the combination I've found listed in azerty flavors has been working so far :
- AltGr + ⇧ Maj + ;
- AltGr + ⇧ Maj + 1
- AltGr + :
- ⇧ Maj + AltGr + .
- ⇧ Maj + *
An out of the box 20.04 installation ends up as follows:
$ setxkbmap -print | grep xkb_symbols
xkb_symbols { include "pc+fr(azerty)+us:2+inet(evdev)" };
$ setxkbmap -query
rules: evdev
model: pc105
layout: fr,us
variant: azerty,
Do I have to add manually each French specific character like suggested in How do I write french accents in Ubuntu 20.04 ?
How could I investigate what's different in my configuration between my 16.04 and my 20.04 ?
