I would like to setup a compose key, but the only options available in the KDE system settings (and via /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules) are:
compose:ralt Right Alt
compose:lwin Left Win
compose:rwin Right Win
compose:menu Menu
compose:lctrl Left Ctrl
compose:rctrl Right Ctrl
compose:caps Caps Lock
compose:102 Less-than/Greater-than
None of those please me though; "compose:caps" might be ok, but it's mapped to ctrl already.
Is there an option so setup some key (e.g. some of those extra function keys), or to get the key itself somehow? (e.g. ralt
would be OK, if I could easily get the original behavior of the key (AltGr))
I would love to have something like Shift-AltGr to trigger Compose mode.
I guess I could add an extra rule, like it's done for/with compose:102
.. what does 102 refer to? (it's not something dumped via xev
).
There is also an option lv3:ralt_switch_multikey
(Right Alt, Shift+Right Alt key is Multi_Key), but this did not work as expected (see http://bugs.kde.org/246472).
Best Answer
lv3:ralt_switch_multikey
is what I was looking for:(via http://ndim.fedorapeople.org/stuff/radeonhd/xorg.conf)
I have this set via the KDE system settings (Keyboard => Advanced), so that I have the following in my
~/.kde/share/config/kxkbrc
