have you tried the one of the options caps:shift_nocancel and caps:internal_nocancel ? For some reason it does not work for me, though. > (low priority) make an additional change in the behavior of Shift and > CapsLock, so that if CapsLock is 'on', Shift is a switch for third > level, and if CapsLock is not 'on', Shift is a group toggler. Have a look at /etc/X11/xkb/types/caps . Maybe try changing the line: map[Shift+Lock] = Level2; to: map[Shift+Lock] = Level3; > > Both of these are definitely tricky and may not even be possible without > breaking some xkb principles; if this is the case, do say so.

This should allow you to use key combinations with the "windows" and "menu" keys. I also rather use grp:win_switch that grp:switch , as it gives me a switch key on both sides of the keyboard (just like the shift key). > or its xorg.conf equivalent. > > > -------------------------------------------------------------------------- > Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) > To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] > -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
