If it is only for personal single-user use, then .Xmodmap is still the simplest solution. I routinely type German and English text on a UK keyboard with the following .Xmodmap file (which also disables the annoying caps-lock key): ! to get capslock back: xmodmap -e 'add Lock = Caps_Lock' clear lock keysym a = a NoSymbol adiaeresis NoSymbol keysym o = o NoSymbol odiaeresis NoSymbol keysym u = u NoSymbol udiaeresis NoSymbol keysym s = s NoSymbol ssharp NoSymbol keysym p = p NoSymbol section Greek_pi keysym d = d NoSymbol degree NoSymbol keysym e = e NoSymbol EuroSign NoSymbol keysym i = i NoSymbol idiaeresis NoSymbol keysym m = m NoSymbol emdash mu keysym n = n NoSymbol endash NoSymbol keysym space = space NoSymbol nobreakspace NoSymbol keycode 34 = bracketleft braceleft leftsinglequotemark leftdoublequotemark keycode 35 = bracketright braceright rightsinglequotemark rightdoublequotemark keysym minus = minus underscore 0x01002212 NoSymbol Just add the command "xmodmap .Xmodmap" to your .xsession file. man xmodmap man X less /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h Note that practically UK PC keyboards have an "AltGr" key. I understand, that in the US, unfortunately not all PC keyboards have this key available for the Mode_switch keysym, so you have to define some other key (Alt_R, Ctrl_R, F1, etc.) to be the Mode_Switch key.
