This is actually correct behaviour. The reason is that your J key uses shift to select levels, and the XKB key type you use does not "preserve" Shift. In this case, Shift is "consumed", and should not be considered except for level selection. But most programms ignore this XKB finesse. You might find inspiration in the Neo layout (in xkeyboard-config, file xkb/symbols/de), which also implements navigation keys on a higher level in the main keyboard area. However, problems with various programs persist, even for Neo; it is incredible into how much trouble a slightly unusual keyboard layout can get you. My recommendation would be to implement your navigation keys not on a higher level, but as an XKB overlay, or maybe (more complicated, but more flexible) with XKB redirect actions. Both ways, the idea is to tell applications that you actually pressed the physical navigation keys, rather than the keys you actually did press. I tried both approaches, but my implementations are not exactly didactic (see https://sites.google.com/site/ausderneowelt/AdNW.sh.gz if you are still interested and understand some German). Maybe it is better read a bit about these topics on Ivan Pascal's XKB page: http://pascal.tsu.ru/en/xkb/ Andreas _______________________________________________ xorg@lists.x.org: X.Org support Archives: http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg Info: http://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg Your subscription address: arch...@mail-archive.com
