As of XFree 4.3 the Xkb can mix-and-match Groups. Up until 4.2.1 the "il" layout had to assume the the Israeli group will be the second group and that the first group will be US-English (see the xkb/symbols/il of XFree 4.1.0 - 4.2.1 as to exactly why also US). In XFree 4.3 you ask for a layout of "us,il" and it is translated to a layout with the Groups "us" and "il". You can have "il,us,ru" if you want. > > > As you use Fedora Core 1, you use XFree 4.3.

In si1452 the added characters reside in a third shift level of the Israeli layout, and nikud characters are generally on the keyboard keys of the numbers. -- Tzafrir Cohen +---------------------------+ http://www.technion.ac.il/~tzafrir/ |vim is a mutt's best friend| mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] +---------------------------+ ================================================================= To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
