Package: x11-xkb-utils Version: 7.4+2 Severity: normal File: /usr/bin/xkbcomp Tags: upstream
I defined a partial symbols file to override an alphanumeric key and
verified that it works if I place it into
/usr/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/madduck and amended the xkb_symbols setting
of the xkb_keymap like this:
xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(evdev)+madduck(basic)" };
This is the file's contents:
partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "basic" {
key <AE03> {
symbols[Group1] = [ 3, sterling ]
};
};
After installing it with xkbcomp, Shift-3 produces a £. \o/
Now I would like to steer clear of writing to /usr and thus created
~/.xkb/symbols and placed the file therein. Unfortunately, xkbcomp
does not seem to care:
lapse:~|master|% xkbcomp -I~/.xkb ~/.xkb/map :0
Error: Can't find file "madduck" for symbols include
Exiting
Abandoning symbols file "(null)"
Error: success in unknown
Couldn't write keyboard description to :0
But:
lapse:~|master|% ls -l .xkb/symbols/madduck
-rw------- 1 madduck madduck 105 2009-04-17 16:07 .xkb/symbols/madduck
-I~/.xkb/symbols does not work either.
