Chrome OS keyboard model does not work

[frederic-parrenin]

I installed ubuntu saucy using crouton, with the gnome and touch targets.
Also, I had to configure my keyboard to a french layout in gnome since it was configured to english by default.
Now I try to install the Chrome OS keyboard model but without success.
I type:
sudo sh -e ~/Downloads/crouton -r saucy -t keyboard -u

By the way, why this keyboard model is not included by default in crouton?

I meant 'installed by default in crouton'.

This should work, make sure that you select Chromebook as keyboard model in the keyboard configuration. If that still doesn't work, post the output of setxkbmap -print.

Some people want to use the search key as Super_L (it's very useful for some WM like i3). Now, we could argue users of such WM should also be able to change the binding with xmodmap....

OK, I see. I have to select 'French (Old version)' in the keyboard
configuration.
It is not very intuitive...

I noticed some keys does not work:

• the search key is not map to the search in gnome (also it seems it is
  mapped to the system key)
• search + F4 is not mapped to full screen
• search + F5 is not mapped to the search in gnome

By the way, I would suggest mapping the Fn keys directly to their
functions, not using search+Fn which is not intuitive for a beginner.

Might be worth having a configuration somewhere that flips the polarity of search.
