Hi,
I'm currently using Guix System (guix ab98b51), and noticed that I can't type less-than (<) and greater-than (>) signs anymore, even though I didn't change the keyboard-layout in my system definition (or anywhere else):
(keyboard-layout "latam" #:options '("ctrl:nocaps"))
Using this layout, I used to get less-than and greater-than by typing Alt+Shift+Z and Alt+Shift+X, respectively, but when I upgraded to guix ab98b51, I started getting single angle quotation marks instead (‹›, the sisters of «»).
Checking the layout in GNOME, I saw a 105-keys keyboard, but mine is 104 keys, so I reconfigured my system with
(keyboard-layout "latam" #:model "pc104" #:options '("ctrl:nocaps"))
but that didn't do much: less-than and greater-than are still nowhere to be found:
https://luis-felipe.gitlab.io/media/2022/04/gnome-41-distribución-de-teclado-español-latinoamericano-104-teclas.png
In the meantime, I've been typing the lost signs entering their UNICODE directly (Shift+U+UNICODE), but if anyone knows how to get the old mapping back, that'll be great.
Thanks in advance,
---

Perhaps a bug in xkeyboard-config, but there are no recent commits
changing xkeyboard-config. If so, the virtual Linux console
(Ctrl+Alt+F2 etc.) should be affected too. Is it? Except you could
try a commit before and after bcfff754? But I don’t see relevant
changes in
less /gnu/store/*-xkeyboard-config*/share/X11/xkb/symbols/latam
Xorg is using xf86-input-libinput now (guix commit 2e55a4c6b915), but
that cannot be at fault, because ab98b51ef is older … I see no other
changes to Xorg in recent commits.
Regards,
Florian

Yes, I get the same behavior in that console.

If I understand correctly, bcfff754 occurred inbetween generations 75 and 76 of my system:

Hmm, thanks for taking a look, FLorian :)
I'll read more about xkeyboard-config.

I was wrong about the generation where the problem started. It seems the mapping change did occur after bcfff754, where xkeyboard-config version changed to 2.34.
I switched generations to check. In my Generation 75 (guix 13c3fcb3), I could type the signs normally. Generation 76 (guix 94836b21) had the login bug, so I couldn't check there, but in Generation 77 I was already unable to type normally:

I guess there’s no way around `info "(guix) Using a Custom Guix
Channel"` with (url "/home/luis/src/guix") and reverting bcfff754.

I think I'll keep entering UNICODE for now :)

I think you could also use an inferior to install xkeyboard-config
from an older Guix revision:
https://guix.gnu.org/de/manual/devel/en/html_node/Inferiors.html
I don’t use Guix System though so unfortunately I can’t give more
specific instructions. Nor be sure that this can really be done, to be
honest.

Sorry I think this will not work. The problem is that the GNOME
packages reference the xkeyboard-config of the current guix.
Therefore changed GNOME packages (referring to inferior or copy of old
xkeyboard-config) and a changed gnome-desktop-service-type (referring
to the changed GNOME packages) would be needed.
It is much simpler to git clone guix into /home/luis/src/guix,
git revert bcfff754, and set up `info "(guix) Using a Custom Guix
Channel"` to (url "/home/luis/src/guix") until a fixed
xkeyboard-config is released.
Regards,
Florian
