I'm trying to configure a laptop to use multiple keyboard layouts so I can type in English (without dead keys -- dead keys get in the way when I'm writing code!) and Spanish (which requires dead keys).
So far, I've got this in /etc/X11/xorg.conf: Option "XkbLayout" "us,us_intl" Option "XkbOptions" "grp:ctrls_toggle" and that seems to work, except for one thing: I can't get the Spanish inverted punctuation to show up. On the us_intl keyboard, that is produced using the right ALT key together with the normal punctuation. >From the testing I've done so far, it appears that something in KDE is trapping the ALT key combinations, so the Spanish punctuation doesn't work. I found an option in the KDE control panel that was able to get the Spanish punctuation working, but with that option, I couldn't get the dead keys to shut off. KDE claimed to have both the US and us_intl layouts available, but when I switched them, it kept using us_intl all the time. Any ideas on ways to get this working?
