[opensuse] xmodmap question
Some one knows the list of keys that can be used on "/etc/X11/Xmodmap"? The manual doesn't have it. Example: keysym Menu = Multi_key This makes the "keysym Menu" work as the compose key. The "keysym Menu" is the contextual menu key. In this photo: <https://images.app.goo.gl/ozmp4yAXagH2jyqP8> it is the one in the centre. I would like to know the name (for xmodmap file) of the key on the left, the Windows key. Or hopefully, the name of all keys... the name as xmodmap uses. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.

It is not Win_R (found on "man keysyms"). It is not Win_Menu

I found this entry in the man: The list of keysym names may be found in the header file <X11/keysymdef.h> (without the XK_ prefix), supplemented by the keysym database /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB. Keysyms matching Unicode characters may be specified as "U0020" to "U007E" and "U00A0" to "U10FFFF" for all possible Unicode characters. I found file "/usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h". It has the line: #define XK_Menu 0xff67 but not the windows keys. And there is no "/usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB*" in my system.
From "xev" I know they key I want is this:
KeyPress event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x5e00001, root 0x263, subw 0x0, time 74590001, (312,271), root:(1182,714), state 0x10, keycode 134 (keysym 0xffec, Super_R), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 37, synthetic NO, window 0x5e00001, root 0x263, subw 0x0, time 74590227, (312,271), root:(1182,714), state 0x50, keycode 134 (keysym 0xffec, Super_R), same_screen YES, XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False Maybe the name is "Super_R"?

Menu By the way, I just found that using "xev -event keyboard" makes it easier to use. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.0 x86_64 at Telcontar)
