Re: [Haifux] xkb, Hebrew and caps lock

Having read this: http://iglu.org.il/faq/cache/86.html I've managed to configure group toggling using Alt+Shift, to make apps ignorant of whether or not I'm in the 'il' or 'us' group for the purposes of Ctrl+something interpretation, to have the numpad keys function as arrows when NumLock isn't pressed (even when Shift is pressed), and even to get Nikkud sort of working (using RCtrl as a third level switcher and the si1452 variant). What I would like to be able to do, and hope someone else has done and can help me with the configuration of, is the following: (high priority) change the behavior of CapsLock so that when I'm in the 'il' group, with CapsLock 'on' state, and Shift and RCtrl unpressed, typing letters will emit capitalized latin letters (e.g. by switching to us group, level two). have you tried the one of the options caps:shift_nocancel and caps:internal_nocancel ? For some reason it does not work for me, though. (low priority) make an additional change in the behavior of Shift and CapsLock, so that if CapsLock is 'on', Shift is a switch for third level, and if CapsLock is not 'on', Shift is a group toggler. Have a look at /etc/X11/xkb/types/caps . Maybe try changing the line: map[Shift+Lock] = Level2; to: map[Shift+Lock] = Level3; Both of these are definitely tricky and may not even be possible without breaking some xkb principles; if this is the case, do say so. Any other thoughts/suggestions on this matter are welcome. Eyal PS - right now I'm using setxbkmap -option grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,srvrkeys:none,numpad:microsoft,lv3:switch us,il -variant ,si1452 I'd add: -model pc104 (just in case this is not set in your xorg.conf). This should allow you to use key combinations with the windows and menu keys. I also rather use grp:win_switch that grp:switch , as it gives me a switch key on both sides of the keyboard (just like the shift key). or its xorg.conf equivalent. -- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- Tzafrir Cohen +---+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---+ -- Haifa Linux Club Mailing List (http://www.haifux.org) To unsub send an empty message to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
[Haifux] [W2L MEETING] Welcome to Linux 2004 - Ignition
Dear All, Next Monday (9/8/2004), 18:30, we begin arranging Welcome to Linux 2004, which is to be Haifux's 6th series. This year we are going to try to join efforts among Linux Clubs in Israel: Haifux (Haifa), Telux (Tel Aviv) and the newly re-forming JLC (Jerusalem). The events we plan will include: A Linux day, including an installation party - New ideas from Telux are that there may not be a need to install computers. Still, another purpose of the party is solving problems on brought computers, configuring hard stuff, and demonstration and interaction. So this should be discussed. A series of 6-8 lectures, ranging in time from about the second week of the semester until no later than the mid-term exams. Topics and order of lectures will be discussed. Last year's schedule of Haifux's events is to be found here, along with slides: http://www.haifux.org/newcomers/timetable.html Lecturers and assistants will hopefully be set. Slides may be shared between the Linux Clubs. In the meeting on Monday, you can volunteer to be in charge of a topic. These topics range from educational to Public Relations to installations: A person in charge of the Linux Day in Haifa A person in charge of each Lecture (and an assistant) A person in charge of all the lectures A/Some person/s in charge of choosing and preparing the distribution (possibly the same person in charge of a Linux Day some place) A person in charge of relations with sponsors A person in charge of PR A person in charge of feedback (designing feedback forms, distributing, collecting, analizing) A recent development: Burning Disks: Hamakor have already announced their intention to burn CDs of Kazix and Ehad (or something similar). See: http://www.mail-archive.com/[EMAIL PROTECTED]/msg01373.html Hamakor also intends to work on sponsors and newspaper ads, according to the same mail Alon Altman sent. We meet in the Technion, Taub 3. See http://www.haifux.org.org/where/html for arrival details. If you wish to be in charge of a topic, it is advised for you to show. If you wish to voice your opinion, come along. If you just wish to see what is going on, you are also welcome. If you wish to help around during the installation party, and you do not wish to affect any decisions, there will be a dedicated meeting later on. Attendance is free (you do not get paid, though...), and you are all invited! Future Haifux lectures include: Latest kernel developments by Muli Ben Yehuda and Orna Agmon + 5-th haifux birthday party on 16/8/2004 Web Hacking by Nadav Har'EL on 30/8/2004 We are always looking for interesting lecture ideas, and we will soon begin to schedule the next season! Have a subject you want to talk about? Or a subject you'd like to hear someone else talk about? email us.

[Haifux] Our mails are on the web
Hi all, and especially those who are in charge of the mirror I just noticed that on the berlios archive of haifux-discuss http://lists.berlios.de/pipermail/haifux-discuss/ email adresses are not hidden, unlike on mail-archive, the server we use for Haifux. What can be done (and by whom?) to take our mail adresses off the web (or at least obfuscate them)?
