Compose key on right alt + right ctrl
Hello all.
I use xorg 7.2 with the German keyboard layout (no dead keys). The
relevant section from my xorg.conf:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "kbd"
Option "AutoRepeat" "500 30"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:swapcaps,eurosign:e"
EndSection
Now I'd like to have the compose key ("Multi_key") on the key
combination right alt + right control. Right alt is the level 3
modifier on a German keyboard, I think. Therefor I tried the
following xmodmap commands consecutively:
xmodmap -e 'keysym Control_R = Control_R Control_R Multi_key'
xmodmap -e 'keysym Control_R = Control_R Control_R Multi_key Multi_key'
xmodmap -e 'keysym Control_R = Control_R Control_R Multi_key Multi_key Multi_key Multi_key'
Neither of those worked.
I could get it to accept shift + right control with the following
command, though:
xmodmap -e "keycode 109 = Control_R Multi_key"
(Using "keycode 109" or "keysym Control_R" made no difference in all
cases.)
I couldn't find any decent documentation about the arguments to
'xmodmap -e' so I'm a little lost. The xmodmap man page was no help
at all in that regard. If you know any docs/etc. about this I'd
really appreciate it.
Thanks in advance,
Tobias

This combination cannot be served by xmodmap but only by the
xkb (aka XKEYBOARD) extension.
> xmodmap -e "keycode 109 = Control_R Multi_key"
This works because the mapping was designed to know Shift and Mode_switch.

Apart from that you need to succeed with the xkb extension:
You need to understand the X11 keyboard model to understand
xmodmap. The documentation of the tool xkeycaps helps a lot.
(Additionally, I once collected some hints for myself on
<http://www.in-ulm.de/~mascheck/X11/xmodmap.html>)

But, IIUC, there is no readily available option for xorg.conf, or is
there? All I found were the following single key mappings in
/usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst:
compose:ralt Right Alt is Compose.
compose:rwin Right Win-key is Compose.
compose:menu Menu is Compose.
compose:rctrl Right Ctrl is Compose.
compose:caps Caps Lock is Compose.
>> xmodmap -e "keycode 109 = Control_R Multi_key"
>

And xmodmap doesn't "understand" ISO_Level3_Shift, too. Why these
extra symbols (@,€,{,[,etc.) are activated via ISO_Level3_Shift on a
German keyboard layout and not via Mode_switch is rather strange,
IMHO. When I remapped the right alt key to Mode_switch I could
achieve my goal but the extra mappings on my keyboard where lost. So
I'll probably make my own xkb keyboard map as I don't like most of the
standard mappings anyway (most of the standard mappings reached via
ISO_Level3_Shift are rather useless to me). I just thought it would
be easier.
Thanks for your help.
Greetings,
Tobias

Right Alt-Key problem.
Hi, One of our customers uses a keyboard with two Alt-keys. Whenever he presses the Alt_K or Alt_P with the left Alt-key, the inkey() value in xHarbour is as expected in inkey.ch. However, if he user the right Alt-Key, inkey() returnes totally different values, and sometimes right Alt_K doesn't seem to trigger the application the leave the wait state inkey(0) at all. I did google for "Right Alt problem windows", but couldn't find anything useful. Any suggestions? Thanks, Gerard Dear Gerard: On Dec 19, 6:42=A0am, "Gerard" <codg...@yahoo.com> wrote...

Unmapping right shift key in X
I just got an old used laptop. It works just fine for what I need, but the right shift key keeps getting stuck. Is there a way to unmap the right shift key so it doesn't work? I just want to turn it off totally. xmodmap only seem to affect the Shift modifier, not RShift and LShift separately. So I would guess I have to redefine the modifiers. How do I do that?
