Re: Re: Please test xkb-data 0.8-12exp2 in experimental
This mysterious key seems to act as a second escape key. Here are the
results of xev for the standard Esc, and for this key, obtained from
Apple's X11:
----Esc--------
KeyPress event, serial 26, synthetic NO, window 0x1200001,
root 0x57, subw 0x0, time 16733974, (-624,143), root:(249,570),
state 0x0, keycode 61 (keysym 0xff1b, Escape), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) "
mbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (1b) "
FilterEvent returns: False

I can confirm that they both clear the screen of the calculator in the
MacOs Dashboard, activating the (c) key drawn on the calculator.
However, I could not notice any "Num Lock property" nor "Delete
property" attached to this key.

How about Delete (i.e. the other character-erasing key besides
backspace)?
I do think remember that key behaving like a PC-style Delete
(forward-delete)... On the other hand, the symbol changed to a "c" on my
Powerbook5,8.
But I also see no reason why this key combo should be numlock.
