rev 24d875e break keyboard-layout

[CharlesHD]

Description

New changes (probably commit 24d875e ) break keyboard-layout compatibility and yield

Warning (initialization): An error occurred while loading ‘/home/charleshd/.emacs.d/init.el’:

error: Key sequence w c c starts with non-prefix key w c

EDIT: This is true for bepo configuration. But not for Dvorak. I suspect this is a wild rebinding of wc somewhere inside the keyboard-layout machinery.

Reproduction guide 🪲

• Ensure you have the keyboard-layout layer
• Start Emacs

Observed behaviour: 👀 💔
Initialization error

Expected behaviour: ❤️ 😄
No error

I have the same issue (I was about to post an issue when I found this thread). I also use the bepo layer.

For the moment my quick dirty fix is to comment those lines in
layers/+spacemacs/spacemacs-defaults/keybindings.el :

  ;; "wcc"  'spacemacs/toggle-centered-buffer
  ;; "wcC"  'spacemacs/toggle-distraction-free
  ;; "wc."  'spacemacs/centered-buffer-transient-state

EDIT:
Finally, I pinned down the problem to evil-window rebinding.
In layers/+intl/keyboard-layout/packages.el you can comment those lines, they do not work for the moment according to the FIXME, so this is not harmful. Still, it is not a bug fixed till' these lines does not work.

Thank you for this correction which allowed me to solve this problem temporarily. Solutions have since been found?

[CharlesHD]

I was planning to do a PR about this (just line commenting). Then an exploratory work to get evil-window working. But I forgot. Thanks for the reminder. I'll take a look when i'm in front of a keyboard.

@CharlesHD Hi, I have the same error. Are you still working on the issue?

[duianto]

The following PRs changes have been applied to the develop branch:
Keyboard-Layout : Quick Fix of issue #11954 #13159

[bepolymathe]

Thank you for this information @duianto . So we can remove these changes without fear? Or will the next update correct this?

[duianto]

If your using the develop branch (it's the suggested branch until the next master branch release (I don't have any insight into when that is)) then you can remove your local changes to fix this issue.
