This is with the GNOME keyboard manager set to the Dvorak layout with
left Ctrl and caps lock switched:
54 p4-117-1% xmodmap
xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x25)
control Control_L (0x42), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), BadKey (0x7d), BadKey (0x9c)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 BadKey (0x7f), BadKey (0x80)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
55 p4-117-1% setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc/pc(pc104)+pc/dvorak+ctrl(swapcaps)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
Now when I use the capplet to remove Dvorak and add U.S. English, and
remove the ctrl-caps lock switch (IOW, revert to defaul settings):
56 p4-117-1% xmodmap
xmodmap: up to 3 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x6d)
mod1 Alt_L (0x40), BadKey (0x7d), BadKey (0x9c)
mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3
mod4 BadKey (0x7f), BadKey (0x80)
mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)
57 p4-117-1% setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc/pc(pc104)+pc/us" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" };
};
Interestingly, I had thought that the absence of Alt_R in mod2 was the
problem with the Dvorak/switched layout. But it's also missing in the
default US/no switch layout, in which right Alt works just fine...
FYI, in the case of Dvorak/no switch, right Alt does nothing; with
US/switch, right Alt works fine. So Dvorak seems to be the problem.
Thanks much,
