Your patch works fine, it does not crash anything: I have an 'at' on
'Q' .... :)
setxkbmap -option -option apple:badmap -rules xorg -model powerbook -layout de
-print | xkbcomp - :0
With the latter command I have what I want:
If I press now (xev language) "Alt_L" + "dead_acute" and then "e", I
get "é", which is fine for me ...
"Shift_L" + "Alt_L" + "dead_acute", then "a" gives "à".
But: I didn't see "dead_acute" on any char if I add "variant nodeadkeys":
$ setxkbmap -option -option apple:badmap -rules xorg -model powerbook -layout
de -variant nodeadkeys -print | xkbcomp - :0
Oh yes: { [ ] } \ are fine now ... :)
HTH
Thanks a lot, Colin: With that version of xkb-data I'd switch off
~/.xmodmap ... :)
Best Regards
Wolfgang
