12.2 server and clients

Hi everyone

I want to get a £ sign no matter where I am on the lan. and no matter what app. what I'm using. The keyboards have the ñ next to the l and Alt Gr gives the third option on the key.

Is there a simple alt+ctrl+wtf to be able to do this?

alt-gr + e == €

(spanish keyboard here ;) )

That would be the U.S. International keyboard. I don't think the basic U.S. keyboard would do it.

US Keyboard works fine, international not required. € GrAlt e+= € -- (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

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? 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)

Check out the link below to see the differences between U.S. and U.S. International keyboards. Are you sure you don't have the U.S. International keyboard enabled?

That is what I said, US keyboard, not "International". http://wahoo.no-ip.org/~pat/keyboard.setting.jpg

It's easy enough to do in Linux & Windows.

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.

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

As I'm a programmer, I'm always using US keyboard layout, although most of the physical keyboards here have a German layout with umlauts etc.

When I have to write a longer text in German (or when I'm forced to enter my own name which includes a o-umlaut), then I use the following command to be able to switch between the German and the US layout at any time by pressing the right WIN key - and the scroll-lock LED indicates the toggling ;-)

$ setxkbmap -layout us,de -variant ,nodeadkeys \ -option grp:rwin_toggle,grp_led:scroll

I use xmodmap to add e.g. Umlauts to the US-Layout. Have a look at http://dhaller.de/linux/Xmodmap and (not up to date, just for reference): http://dhaller.de/linux/Xmodmap.pdf. After a couple of weeks, I'm typing either english or german including umlauts as fast as before. HTH, -dnh -- Zum Tier zu werden ist manchesmal recht menschlich.
