AFAIK key maps can have 4 levels: Level 1: no modifier Level 2: key + Level 2 modifier (usually Shift) Level 3: key + Level 3 modifier (usually AltGr) Level 4: key + Level 4 modifier (usually Shift+AltGr) Hope this explains, Andrei -- http://wiki.debian.org/FAQsFromDebianUser Offtopic discussions among Debian users and developers: http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/d-community-offtopic http://nuvreauspam.ro/gpg-transition.txt
