Description Braden Obrzut 2016-08-28 06:37:52 UTC 
Tested with Hg changeset 9a277db2806d on Kubuntu 16.04 x86_64 (also affects version of SDL2 shipped with the distro).

I have my keyboard layout set to US-Workman in KDE and SDL handles this mostly fine except for the number keys.  Those get translated as follows:

1 = Return
2 = Escape
3 = Backspace
4 = Tab
5 = Space
6 = -
7 = =
8 = [
9 = ]

The beginning sequence there looks a lot like the scancodes in the switch statement on line 335 of SDL_x11keyboard.c, so I commented that switch block out.  With the modified SDL library the keyboard input works as expected with the keycode matching my layout and scancode matching qwerty.
