This is much easier to understand, thanks. But I am not comfortable with the first paragraph. It seems to imply that Mode_Switch has a similar effect than AltGr, but alternate group being locked. Since XFree86 4.3 this is no more true, groups are defined with at most 4 columns, AltGr displays glyphs of 3rd and 4th columns for the current group, but does not switch group. OTOH Mode_Switch switches group, but cannot display glyphs of 3rd and 4th columns. Since you give a detailed description of groups, you could mention that at most 4 groups can be used simultaneously. In the last paragraph about fake keys, some applications work better when setting altwin:super_win (if logo keys have to be bound to Super) but not GNU emacs, it has to be patched as explained in #255286. We could provide a debian:no_fake_keys to disable fake keys, let me know if you believe that it is a good idea. IMO it is, the more options are provded to users, the better. Denis
