I know Gnome keeps its own keyboard mappings. But for fixing it in plain X, I think you have to modify some locale files under: /usr/share/X11/locale/ In particular take a look at the output of: ls /usr/share/X11/locale/*/Compose But why not fix it for everybody? My FOSS skills is limited to simple code scanning. Maybe someone with better abilities can submit a patch to have an official Philippine peso compose key sequence? The compose key maps are a part of libx11 (libx11-data in Ubuntu Debian). http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libX11/ Maybe some Gnome or KDE fan knows where their favorite desktop keeps its corresponding key maps? PLUG members, what do you think? Wouldn't this be a good if minor PLUG project, to get our beloved peso be officially recognized by the major Linux/BSD distros? _________________________________________________ Philippine Linux Users' Group (PLUG) Mailing List http://lists.linux.org.ph/mailman/listinfo/plug Searchable Archives: http://archives.free.net.ph
