Hello everybody,

Apparently, the BE keyboard is decribed in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be.

However, the deadkeys are present in this file, as shown below

   // based on a keyboard map from an 'xkb/symbols/be' file

   default partial alphanumeric_keys
   xkb_symbols "basic" {

        include "latin"

        name[Group1]="Belgian";

        key <AE01>    { [ ampersand,          1,          bar,
   exclamdown ]    };
        key <AE02>    { [    eacute,          2, at,    oneeighth ]    };
        key <AE03>    { [  quotedbl,          3, numbersign,    
   sterling ]    };
        key <AE04>    { [apostrophe,          4, onequarter,      
   dollar ]    };
        key <AE05>    { [ parenleft,          5,      onehalf,
   threeeighths ]    };
        key <AE06>    { [   section,          6,  asciicircum,
   fiveeighths ]    };
        key <AE07>    { [    egrave,          7,    braceleft,
   seveneighths ]    };
        key <AE08>    { [    exclam,          8, bracketleft,   
   trademark ]    };
        key <AE09>    { [  ccedilla,          9, braceleft,   
   plusminus ]    };
        key <AE10>    { [    agrave,          0, braceright,      
   degree ]    };
        key <AE11>    { [parenright,     degree,    backslash,
   questiondown ]    };
        key <AE12>    { [     minus, underscore, dead_cedilla, 
   dead_ogonek ]    };

        key <AD01>    { [         a,          A,           at,
   Greek_OMEGA ]    };
        key <AD02>    { [         z,          Z, lstroke,      Lstroke
   ]    };
        key <AD03>    { [         e,          E, EuroSign,         cent
   ]    };
        key <AD09>  { [         o,          O, oe,           OE ] }; //
   o O œ Œ
        key <AD11>    { [dead_circumflex, dead_diaeresis,  bracketleft,
   dead_abovering ] };
        key <AD12>    { [    dollar,   asterisk, bracketright,
   dead_macron ]    };

        key <AC01>    { [         q,          Q, ae,           AE ]    };
        key <AC10>    { [         m,          M, dead_acute,
   dead_doubleacute ] };

Thus apparently, the BE keyboard is not the be keyboard described in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be.

Does anyone know where the keyboards tha are effectively used are located and/or how to use the good one, described in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be ?

Thanks,

Marc

Hello

Apparently there are no dead keys in the BE keyboard. Is there a way to activate them  in order to easily type â in libreoffice for instance ?

Thanks

Marc
