setxkbmap's -option needs resetting. If you follow this, try: setxkbmap -option '' -option grp:switch,grp:shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll us,il ,lyx Note that in the latest versions, the keyboard mapping includes the latest version of SI1452: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Help:Extension:UniversalLanguageSelector/Input_methods/he-standard-2012-extonly/he For this you should use something along the lines of: setxkbmap -option '' -option \ "grp:shift_toggle,grp:switch,lv3:ralt_switch" \ us,il Like the above, but the right alt is used to switch (temporarily) to third shift level, where most Nikkud signs are. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best tzaf...@debian.org | | friend _______________________________________________ Linux-il mailing list Linux-il@cs.huji.ac.il http://mailman.cs.huji.ac.il/mailman/listinfo/linux-il
