Can anyone clue me in as to how to use dumpkeys (or potentially a UTF-8 aware successor) on 12.1 with en_US.UTF-8?
xmodmap -pke
That's a good one. Thanks.
xev
Yep, used to that when confirming my ~/.Xmodmap
Here's a snippet from my ~/.Xmodmap:
keycode 26 = e E EuroSign eacute ! use both Win-keys as AltGr/Mode_switch/ISO_Level3_Switch: keycode 115 = Mode_switch Mode_switch keycode 116 = Mode_switch Mode_switch
Hmm. I've got the 'menu' key (between 'win' and right ctrl) mapped thusly: keycode 135 = Multi_key and then I use it for 'compose', e.g. (multi-key and ') _then_ e for é. Not sure how to use this "Mode_switch" thing. I tried ! 35 is the letter 'e' keycode 135 = Mode_switch Mode_switch keycode 35 = e E EuroSign EuroSign $ xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap And tried pressing both 'menu' and 'e' (or Shift-e) together, and in succession. All I got were 'e' and 'E'. What's the right way to do it? BTW, where would I find a list of such values (as xmodmap would accept) like 'EuroSign' and 'eacute', etc.? `man xmodmap` didn't suggest anything obvious to me. Wait, I've just discovered /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose, which tells me to multi-key '=' with 'C' for EuroSign. All that prints for me in an xterm is a blank space. € .. hmm. Obviously vi can do it.. € Why the blank space? Actually ₤ has the same problem.
You should use 'xev' to check if those are the right keycodes for you.
/me nods. Many thanks. This is the approach I'm looking for. Michael -- Michael Fischer michael@visv.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
