Re: simple question: which is 'compose' key on macintosh?




I guess some are lucky and some aren't :-)

luigi@ibook> xmodmap -pk|grep -i multi                             ~
    63    	0xffaa (KP_Multiply)
luigi@ibook> xmodmap -pk|grep -i mode                             ~

luigi@ibook> xmodmap -pk|grep -i compose                             ~

so I don't have any of those keys...
what keyboard layout should I be using then?

currently this is my X config file:

Section "InputDevice"
	Identifier	"Generic Keyboard"
	Driver		"keyboard"
	Option		"CoreKeyboard"
	Option		"XkbRules"	"xfree86"
	Option		"XkbModel"	"macintosh"
	Option		"XkbLayout"	"us"
EndSection

daenzer@tibook> xmodmap -pk|grep Multi_key                             ~
    115    	0xffe7 (Meta_L)	0xff20 (Multi_key)

So it's shift-apple/cmd.

Oh, and while we're at it, I noticed this:

daenzer@tibook> xmodmap -pk|grep Mode_switch                           ~
     64    	0xffe9 (Alt_L)	0xff7e (Mode_switch)

So shift-alt/option is the 'AltGr' a lot of people are desperately
looking for. :)
