Duplicate?

I don't think I understand what this actually does?
In my case, maps right alt to AltGr. I don't remember exactly how it
works, but I \
think CmdN tells the driver it's a modifier and the next N tokens tell
it what.
First of all none of my ‚keyboard.map's have a keycode 184. I tried \
keyboard.encoding=us, keyboard.encoding=de, keyboard.encoding=fr, \
keyboard.encoding=fr.apple.
I don't know, there might be differences between PC, USB and Apple. I
mentioned HU \
earlier because that definitely has altgr defined.
Second, if the columns normally represent levels (or layers), how does
that work \
here? Plain 184 is Cmd2; 184 + some modifier is Mode_switch; and 184 +
some other \
modifier is Multi_key (whatever that is supposed to mean)?

Thanks, that helps somewhat. It still is strange to have to resort to
experiments \
to figure things out instead of having them documented on OpenBSD.
By xkb do you mean xkeyboard-config(7)? I have looked at the man page
but I \
honestly can't see much similarity to the keyboard.map syntax. I also
looked at \
setxkbmap(1) and xkbcomp(1) but they where no help either. I don't
normally use X \
for anything so I am not very familiar with all of the associated
settings.
https://www.x.org/wiki/XKB/ did seem to explain some relevant concepts
though. For \
example the concept of levels which probably translates to the columns
used in the \
keycode statements? But where are the definitions of which modifier (or
combination \
thereof) selects which column?
Hello!
I would like to find some supporting documentation too, if anything is
available, but for certain other reasons
(https://github.com/letoram/arcan/issues/263). Basically, this "desktop
engine" has problems with figuring out my keyboard layouts, and I want
to figure out why. This might've been more appropriate to post in ports@
but this thread catched my eye, so I'm here. It would be nice to be able
to determine what keycodes correspond to what symbols in console, to
figure out what goes wrong in the process of how Arcan determines my
keyboard layout. Any help appreciated!
