Sorry. I forgot that us_intl is 'old style' keymap. For such maps you need
"grp:*_switch" options instead of "lv3:*_switch". I.e. if you change
lv3:lwin_switch to grp:lwin_switch you will get access to extra symbols
of us_intl.
OK, I did it, but it's almost a same story. I can get a larger number of extended Latin characters, but still no extra symbols available. I nee eurosign, (AltGr+5), copyright (AltGr+c), French quotation marks (<< >>, respectively AltGr+[ and ]), german "ss", superscript "o", "a", 1, 2, 3 and so on.
I understand the problem better now, but I don't need all those characters and I miss some I use every day. Now I need to insert a special symbol every time I want to put a price in euros, i.e. dozens times per day. Not very convenient.
Because of all those problems with Compose rules, I think there should exist many XkbVariants for different national character assignments. For example, if I want to have my usual US international + Russian setup AND the possibility to use AltGr mode to have all non-Russian cyrillic characters as all Mac users do, I should have the possibility to edit my XF86Config-4 like this:
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
Option "XkbVariant" "(withdeadkeys+eurointernational),(winkeys+fullcyrillic)"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:alt_shift_toggle,lv3_AltGr,compose:menu"
I should have the possibility to use this config in all locales I can use, but in 8-bit locales the variants eurointernational and fullcyrillic would be ignored. No more config editing!
Someone will certainly need the AltGr mode adapted to his language ("eurocentral", "latinamerican") and so on.
The hope never dies!
Ciao,
Vladimir
