Given that the standard U.S. keyboard doesn't support using that AltGr key, how do you manage that? You realize that it *is* possible to set almost any key on almost any keyboard to the value you wish?
So, you modified a keyboard layout by changing the mappings, instead of choosing one of the existing layouts.
Nowhere did I say that. I did not change the mappings but merely suggested that it could be done.
And even easier on my 20 year old programable Gateway 2000 Anykey keyboard with it's own memory and processor, and *no* win keys :^)
iiuc, standard setting since 12.1 is/was right alt key is AltGr (compose)
I just switched back to standard U.S. and that is not so. I'm running 12.2.
I am running Tumbleweed and have not changed my keyboard. xev reports: KeyPress event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x8800001, root 0x294, subw 0x8800002, time 446845493, (31,38), root:(34,61), state 0x0, keycode 108 (keysym 0xff20, Multi_key), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: True KeyRelease event, serial 40, synthetic NO, window 0x8800001, root 0x294, subw 0x8800002, time 446845588, (31,38), root:(34,61), state 0x0, keycode 108 (keysym 0xff20, Multi_key), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False for press/release my right Alt key. note: from some searching, the AltGr may be the result of setting LANG=en_US.UTF-8 -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
