apple key in X and console?
Hi!
I want hat the apple key works to produce the @.
My XF86Config-4 section:
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "macintosh"
Option "XkbLayout" "de"
Option "XkbVariant" "nodeadkeys"
EndSection
setxkbmap -print gives this
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include
"macintosh/us(extended)+macintosh/de(nodeadkeys)" };
xkb_geometry { include "macintosh(macintosh)" };
};
If I run this: xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = Mode_switch" in a shell.
I can get the @ with apple-key + L.
So, is this a bug in xlibs?
It should work out of the box, or? Does this happen on any mac or only on
oldworld with adb keyboard, like my Umax S900? I use sarge maybe this is
fixed in sid. Anyone knows?
What is the file that maybe needs to be patched to make the apple-key work?
If I work not with X and use console the @ is also only useable if I change
my console keymap to mac-usb-de-latin1-nodeadkeys(But I have an ADB
keyboard). Then the @ is produced wirh apple-key + Q. That seems to point
to diffrent layouts for X and console. I think this is not good for me as
new debian user and does a lot of confusion. My brain is low on ram I only
want to remember one shortcut ;-).
Thanks Chris.
