Xmodmap is neat... but obsolete Ive noticed hanging and misbehavior and there are all sorts of bugs eg https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/998310 https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=550533 all of which amount to "Dont use Xmodmap; use Xkb" Yeah as I said Xmodmap is much simpler than xkb but the reality is that former is obsolete and increasingly unsupported. > Rustom Mody wrote: > > > Can someone try out: > > > > $ setxkbmap -layout "us,gr" -option "grp:ralt_rshift_toggle" > > I tried it. > > > 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'. > > I noticed, thanks very much. :-) > Luckily I managed to undo the damage without logging out. > > The reason is the Greek keyboard doesn't have an RAlt.

So a bit wiser now I see that $ setxkbmap -layout "us,gr" -option "grp:lalt_lshift_toggle,grp_led:caps" toggles with lalt-lshift and shows indicator on caps-led $ setxkbmap -layout "us,gr" -option "grp:lalt_lshift_toggle,grp_led:scroll" toggles with lalt-lshift and shows indicator on scroll-led -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
