I apologies if I wasn't clear enough in rejecting any hacky solutions that involve copying out pieces of the selected keyboard layout. I assume it is clear by now. | |
| Aug 16, 2016 at 7:15 | comment | added | Ned64 | Good luck finding something better. If you provide the information I requested 5 times maybe one more line of code could do the job, though. | |
| Aug 15, 2016 at 20:12 | comment | added | Pavel Šimerda | @Ned64 I would prefer a more systematic solution without breaking and rebuilding mappings. | |

@PavelŠimerda There is no need to rebuild the whole keyboard (!), only those keys that need an AltGr-alternative. All the others cannot have changed just be remapping the AltGr-key. I have around 10 keys that needed remapping, and created a 12-line shell script in 10 minutes. If you send me your xmodmap -pke output and point out the relevant keys I can do it for you.

@Ned64 I'm not going to build the whole keyboard layout by hand. I just want to use us(cz_sk_de) with a very small number of additions. Step 1 breaks the whole keyboard layout unfortunately.

You can get it to work, but you have not done Step two yet. Please show me xmodmap -pke | grep -w SOMECHANGEDKEY for a key that does not work anymore and I show you how to do Step two.

I tried it and the problem is that accented letters from us(cz_sk_de) stopped working for me. Therefore this answer doesn't work for me and will not work for many others.

xmodmap -pke | grep Alt_R doesn't return any results on my system. My system is Lenovo ThinkPad X230 with Gentoo stable. I also tried with grep -i to no avail.

added keysym variant of command, though I prefer the keycode version, especially in scripts

(then we will need to add the new modifier using xmodmap according to your output)

Thanks for trying this. Please post xmodmap -pm and xmodmap -pke | grep -w SOMECHANGEDKEY in this situation, for a key which does not work anymore.
