The .Xmodmap file is not meant to be executable; it has a
specific format. I believe the equivalent to dding xmodmap -e
"remove "Alt_R to your ~/.xinitrc would be to add the following
to your ~/.Xmodmap:
!remove Alt_R
clear mod1
add mod1 = Mode_switch
This seems to work with Xoroborus. For this to work with
"normal" window managers that read the .xinitrc you want to be
sure that your .xinitrc uses your .Xmodmap, etc. with lines
like:
userresources=$HOME/.Xresources
usermodmap=$HOME/.Xmodmap
sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources
sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap
# merge in defaults and keymaps
if [ -f $sysresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $sysresources
fi
if [ -f $sysmodmap ]; then
xmodmap $sysmodmap
fi
if [ -f $userresources ]; then
xrdb -merge $userresources
fi
if [ -f $usermodmap ]; then
xmodmap $usermodmap
fi
Now if only I could figure out how to set CAPSLOCK = control
under OroborusX...
