Several reasons:
One, because I need stability on a keyboard. I'm on unstable. This
means I have to take into account that my keyboard is changed if I
pull the wrong upgrade, which means lots of work if I don't have a
usable ~/.xmodmap ... :)
Second: This Mac keyboard here, and I'm talking about the hardware,
seems to be a sick joke - at best: I have two <ENTER> keys, the real
one that probably nearly everyone has anywhere and the one left of the
<Left> arrow key. I.e. both are set not very far from each other. Such
hardware might be nice for a Macintosh junkie who simply wants to be
some sort of "special" - even if that means to become completely
retarded .. and there's more to rant about, I'll just stop here .. :)
With ~/.xmodmap I'm basically trying to get the best out of a notebook
keyboard that has, different to the big PC105 (?) keyboards, a smaller
number of keys: f.e. I don't have a numeric keypad. This means I try
to get every character/key value mapping just once, not 2 or 3 times
...
Thinking a bit more it might also be because I don't like the idea
Jobs' RDF would take over the way I type ... :)
Thanks, Colin, also for your new xkb-data version ... With your new
version it seems I can safely test the settings here, especially the
-- how you you call that? 2nd and 3rd level keys? That is @, ¥, ®, |,
€ etc. ...
Please holler if you need me testing your software.
Nice Weekend
Wolfgang
