Hello all,
I finally figured out how to use the "compose" characters under the terminal
(using init 3). How can I get the same effect under X ?
this is how my keyboard is configured:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Keyboard1"
Driver "Keyboard"
Option "AutoRepeat" "250 30"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc105"
Option "XkbLayout" "us"
EndSection
I noticed that the Print Screen and the right windows are mapped to Compose
keys. I had to manually add
keycode 99 = Multi_key
keycode 127 = Multi_key
to my /etc/X11/Xmodmap file, only to find out that when I login via GDM this
file is not used @#$@^%
So when I do
xmodmap -pk | grep -i multi_key
I don't get any multi key (same for compose, or just "multi").
How should I go about so that I can type Latin1 characters with the default
installation of Mandrake 8.2 using a US layout and the same keyboard
configuration that I showed earlier...?
Another related question, the compose file vim-compose.latin1.inc.gz (inside
/usr/lib/kbd/include I think) it's a very nice file, and since I know vim
digraphs, I would like to use that instead. for now I got away by editing
/etc/init.d/keytable shell script and adding a loadkeys
vim-compose.latin1.inc.gz statement to it... is there a better more
generalized way of doing this? I was thinking maybe that file should be
called compose.vim-latin1.inc.gz that way it could be loaded differently
since the keytable init script calls compose.$KBCHARSET.inc at boot time.
Thanks in advanced
