Hi,
This is not for immediate apply, but for some discussion:
This is the first time I edit xkb files, so comments are very welcome
... I modified the files because the macintosh de layout is not really
usable - at least on iBooks ... All the third and fourth level symbols
are not reachable (important for the de map) :-(((
The behavior matches the one of Mac OS X.
Is there some active maintainer of the files? I would volunteer to
adapt the behavior to the Mac OS X one ... - maybe with a PC-style
variant, too.
Sincerely yours,
Ren� Rebe
- ROCK Linux stable release maintainer
