 |
|
Hi there everyone.
I've been trying to understand how to get dead keys, AltGr, whatever, on my PC, to work in order to produce some international/accented characters. I don't exactly know what to do.
| Code: |
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard0"
Driver "kbd"
Option "XkbLayout" "dvorak"
EndSection
|
I found an interesting section in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us, where there is a dvorak set up with some of this...
| Code: |
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "dvorak" {
name[Group1]= "U.S. English - Dvorak";
// Alphanumeric section
key <TLDE> { [ grave, asciitilde, dead_grave, dead_tilde ] };
key <AE01> { [ 1, exclam ] };
key <AE02> { [ 2, at ] };
key <AE03> { [ 3, numbersign ] };
key <AE04> { [ 4, dollar ] };
key <AE05> { [ 5, percent ] };
key <AE06> { [ 6, asciicircum, dead_circumflex, dead_circumflex ] };
key <AE07> { [ 7, ampersand ] };
key <AE08> { [ 8, asterisk ] };
key <AE09> { [ 9, parenleft, dead_grave] };
key <AE10> { [ 0, parenright ] };
key <AE11> { [ bracketleft, braceleft ] };
key <AE12> { [ bracketright, braceright, dead_tilde] };
key <AD01> { [ apostrophe, quotedbl, dead_acute, dead_diaeresis ] };
key <AD02> { [ comma, less, dead_cedilla, dead_caron ] };
key <AD03> { [ period, greater, dead_abovedot, periodcentered ] };
key <AD04> { [ p, P ] };
key <AD05> { [ y, Y ] };
key <AD06> { [ f, F ] };
key <AD07> { [ g, G ] };
key <AD08> { [ c, C ] };
key <AD09> { [ r, R ] };
key <AD10> { [ l, L ] };
key <AD11> { [ slash, question ] };
key <AD12> { [ equal, plus ] };
key <AC01> { [ a, A ] };
key <AC02> { [ o, O ] };
key <AC03> { [ e, E ] };
key <AC04> { [ u, U ] };
key <AC05> { [ i, I ] };
key <AC06> { [ d, D ] };
key <AC07> { [ h, H ] };
key <AC08> { [ t, T ] };
key <AC09> { [ n, N ] };
key <AC10> { [ s, S ] };
key <AC11> { [ minus, underscore ] };
key <AB01> { [ semicolon, colon, dead_ogonek, dead_doubleacute ] };
key <AB02> { [ q, Q ] };
key <AB03> { [ j, J ] };
key <AB04> { [ k, K ] };
key <AB05> { [ x, X ] };
key <AB06> { [ b, B ] };
key <AB07> { [ m, M ] };
key <AB08> { [ w, W ] };
key <AB09> { [ v, V ] };
key <AB10> { [ z, Z ] };
key <BKSL> { [ backslash, bar ] };
};

The characters that I might especially need are any that create a bar over the vowel, as in Latin.
So, could anyone tell me how to set up my xorg.conf to make use of this?
