Small request (especially if you have an older X): Can someone try out: $ setxkbmap -layout "us,gr" -option "grp:ralt_rshift_toggle" Earlier that used to work as a *toggle* ie a RAlt-RShift chord would go to gr(eek) and another would come back to 'us'. Now it seems (on my box) that it goes to gr(eek) BUT NOT BACK. NOTE: that this means one has effectively a broken keyboard... Until you do something like: $ setxkbmap -layout "us" -option Getting the first from the second should of course work if shell history -- ie up-arrow -- and backspace work. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
