I believe these days you're supposed to use XKB, which is notorious for
its flexibility and extreme lack of documentation.
Here's an example:
,----
| partial
| default
| alphanumeric_keys
| modifier_keys
| xkb_symbols "basic" {
|
| include "us"
| include "compose(paus)"
| include "level3(caps_switch)"
|
| name[Group1]= "USA (Niko)";
|
| // Add additional parentheses to home row
| key <AC06> { [ h, H, braceleft ] };
| key <AC07> { [ j, J, parenleft ] };
| key <AC08> { [ k, K, parenright ] };
| key <AC09> { [ l, L, braceright ] };
|
| // Add additional dead prefix
| key <AC11> { [ apostrophe, quotedbl, dead_iota ] };
|
| // Add dead symbols to tilde
| key <TLDE> { [ grave, asciitilde, dead_grave, dead_tilde ] };
|
| // Additional Numlocks
| key <K59> { [ equal ] };
| key <I76> { [ parenleft ] };
| key <I7B> { [ parenright ] };
| };
`----
if you copy that into /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/mylayout, you can
enable it with "setxkbmap -layout mylayout".
I still haven't found a way to avoid copying this to /usr :-(.
Best,
