That's a bad idea, as Mode_switch should really be one key ("\" is
produced by Shift+Mode_switch+7, for example)

Hmmm, what is Multi_key?

IMHO, we should really keep compatibility with MacOS keymaps, ie
"AltGr" functionality provided by the "Option" ("Alt") key, at least as an
option.
It's really irritating if the keys are labelled one way, but produce
something else...
I'm currently using xmodmap as a quick&dirty fix, like this:
cat <<END | xmodmap -
clear mod1
keycode 64 = Mode_switch
END
If I ever understand xkb (it's hardly documented...), I'd add an Xkb
variant for iBooks...
Btw: Michel: What's your solution for that? Using an US keymap? Or a
bigger (non-iBook) keyboard??
Cheers,
