I confirm this bug (?). Level3 does work any more in some (xlib?) applications like e.g. urxvt but not in other (libgtk?) applications like evolution. Setup with xkb-data 1.6-1 as follows:
xorg.conf: Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Generic Keyboard" Driver "kbd" Option "CoreKeyboard" Option "XkbRules" "xorg" Option "XkbModel" "apple_laptop" Option "XkbLayout" "de" Option "XkbVariant" "mac_nodeadkeys" Option "XkbOptions" "lv3:win_switch" EndSection setxkbmap -print: xkb_keymap { xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwertz)" }; xkb_types { include "complete" }; xkb_compat { include "complete" }; xkb_symbols { include "pc+de(mac_nodeadkeys)+level3(win_switch)" }; xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc104)" }; }; xmodmap: xmodmap: up to 4 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), Meta_L (0x9c) mod2 Num_Lock (0x4d) mod3 mod4 ISO_Level3_Shift (0x73), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x74), Super_L (0x7f), Hyper_L (0x80) mod5 Mode_switch (0x5d), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x71), ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c) xmodmap -pke | grep Level3 keycode 113 = ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift keycode 115 = ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift keycode 116 = ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift keycode 124 = ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift NoSymbol ISO_Level3_Shift xev: According to xev the left and right "Win-Keys" (= Apple-Keys on the mac keyboard) both have keycode 0x73: KeyPress event, serial 25, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001, root 0x11c, subw 0x0, time 12205667, (478,468), root:(479,490), state 0x10, keycode 115 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 113 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001, root 0x11c, subw 0x0, time 12205717, (478,468), root:(479,490), state 0xd0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 113 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyPress event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001, root 0x11c, subw 0x0, time 12206856, (478,468), root:(479,490), state 0x10, keycode 115 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 113 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XmbLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False KeyRelease event, serial 28, synthetic NO, window 0x1600001, root 0x11c, subw 0x0, time 12206907, (478,468), root:(479,490), state 0xd0, keycode 115 (keysym 0xfe03, ISO_Level3_Shift), same_screen YES, XKeysymToKeycode returns keycode: 113 XLookupString gives 0 bytes: XFilterEvent returns: False Removing Super and Hyper from mod4 in a working Level3 at least for emacs22-gtk but no other applications. There's no hint in either xkb-data/changelog.Debian.gz nor xkb-data/changelog.gz that explains this bug (?) to me. What else could I contribute to help analyzing the lacking Level3 function? -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-x-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
