ah... typo, should be -pke

with xmodmap you dan define your keyboard layout (for your current x
session, no permanent changes)
xmodmap -pke dumps the current layout in a form xmodmap itself can read.
so "xmodmap -pke | xmodmap -" sets the layout you currently have. And
nothing should change.

They look similar to the ones I get. For retrieving these codes myself,
I use the XKeyCodeToKeysym() function.
However for keycode 16 it returns:
egrave 7 null null seveneighths null null null
after running "xmodmap -pke | xmodmap -" it returns:
egrave 7 braceleft seveneighths seveneighths null null null
So somehow, initially the second group (braceleft seveneighths) is missing.
I'm now figuring out why and why xmodmap doesn't have this problem

Yes I do understand. It is exaclty the reason why I need to swich
layouts during programming/testing. Without having such keyboard it's
hard to press the right key.
