I didn't rebuild anything ... One thing I have in my hacked keymap is defining Alt as Mode_switch to get the special combos using Alt, like Alt-shift-L for | or Alt-N for ~ (dead key) etc... I think it should be possible to tell xkb to just do those combos with Alt- without actually defining Alt as Mode_switch or whatever else... Looking at the way the Darwin driver works, it just fills the X keymap tables internally with proper translations based on the sets of modifiers, whatever those modifiers are. It's just a matter of understanding XKB syntax, which is beyond my abilities :) Ben.
