 |
|
Hello,
I want to have german Umlaute on my US-Keyboard in the following way:
The Keyboard has a "Menu" key on the right. If I press a, u or o together with it, I want the corresponding Umlaut!
So I have this .Xmodmap:
| Code: | clear Mod1
add Mod1 = Menu
keycode 38 = a A adiaeresis Adiaeresis
keycode 30 = u U udiaeresis Udiaeresis
keycode 32 = o O odiaeresis Odiaeresis
keycode 39 = s S ssharp |
I apply it with xmodmap .Xmodmap
Output of xmodmap afterwards:
| Code: | xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock
control Control_L (0x25), Control_L (0x42), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Menu (0x75)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) |
And some interesting part of xmodmap -pke
| Code: | keycode 38 = a A adiaeresis Adiaeresis
keycode 39 = s S ssharp |
It does not work. When I press the Menu key, I get the ~ symbol (after and before applying the modmap).
What could be wrong?
Thanks!

It depends on the keyboard type etc...
On mine the Menu key toggles the mode back and forth | Code: | clear Mod1
keycode 117 = ISO_Next_Group
add mod1 = ISO_Next_Group
keycode 38 = a A adiaeresis Adiaeresis
keycode 30 = u U udiaeresis Udiaeresis
keycode 32 = o O odiaeresis Odiaeresis
keycode 39 = s S ssharp

The trick is finding out the keycode of the Menu key. showkey on VT1 reports 127, but xkeycaps -kbd PC105 reports 117.
Viel Glück.  |
