Altgr '3' appears instead of '£' for VK in UK keyboard

Project Member Reported by omrilio@chromium.org, Mar 3 2017

Issue description

Chrome Version: M57

In UK Soft Keyboard setting with US Hardware Keyboard, the '£' sign should be Altgr+3 but it currently works with Shift+3, however, the '€' sign works fine with Altgr+4. .


What steps will reproduce the problem?
(1) Open UK virtual keyboard on US physical keyboard layout
(2) press Alt gr

What is the expected result?
Where the number 3 there should be an '£'

ubuntu UK layout also has Shift+3 as the £ sign, not Alt-Gr, so this may be a non-bug (wikimedia actually shows the same)

Yeah, it looks like this is working as intended -- according to the wikimedia image, Shift+3 should produce £ and not AltGr+3.

@omrilio am I missing something?
Summary: Altgr '3' appears instead of '£' for VK in UK keyboard (was: Altgr)
The problem is that the keyboard on a UK Chromebook is built in the Alt+Gr approach, so it confused our users to have a different layout when switching to tablet mode.
Hi Omri are you saying the layout is different in laptop mode Vs Tablet mode?
I might actually be wrong here, I opened this bug based on your feedback. If it's not the case, let's close this.
