My .Xmodmap looks like this: keycode 0x48 = aring Aring keycode 0x49 = adiaeresis Adiaeresis keycode 0x4A = odiaeresis Odiaeresis That is I map some typically Swedish characters on some function keys. Anyone with an idea of how to achieve it now that Gnome complains about xmodmap?
I had a similar problem two days ago ... my solution might be somewhat hardcore but it's working. I have a US-Layout Keyboard and wanted to be able to generate letters like äöüß but without falling back to deadkeys.
So I adapeted the given us layout and created my own file /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/custom_us
In /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 I changed Option "XKBLayout" "us" to Option "XKBLayout" "custom_us"
Then started gconf-editor and changed the key /desktop/gnome/peripherals/keyboard/xkb/layouts to custom_us as well.
After that all my settings worked just as I wanted. As I said before: a brutal solution but meets my needs. Here is my custom_us file:
partial default alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "basic" {
// based upon US Keyboard with 104 keys (euro-layout)
include "us(pc104euro)"
name[Group1]= "US/ASCII";
name[Group2]= "International customized";
// Umlaute
override key <AD07> { [ u, U ], [ udiaeresis, Udiaeresis ] };
override key <AD09> { [ o, O ], [ odiaeresis, Odiaeresis ] };
override key <AC01> { [ a, A ], [ adiaeresis, Adiaeresis ] };
override key <AC02> { [ s, S ], [ ssharp, section ] };
// Currency Symbols
override key <AE05> { [ 5, percent ], [ EuroSign, cent ] };
override key <AD03> { [ e, E ], [ EuroSign, cent] };
// Extra Characters
override key <AD04> { [ r, R ], [ registered ] };
override key <AB03> { [ c, C ], [ copyright ] };
override key <AD05> { [ t, T ], [ trademark ] };
override key <AB07> { [ m, M ], [ mu ] };
// Accents
override key <AE06> { [ 6, asciicircum ], [] };
override key <AC11> { [ apostrophe, quotedbl ], [] };
override key <TLDE> { [ grave, asciitilde ], [] };
override key <AE10> { [ 0, parenright ], [ degree ] };
override key <AB08> { [ comma, less ], [] };
override key <AB09> { [ period, greater ], [] };
override key <AB10> { [ slash, question ], [] };
};
