From d716e61e25683caccb5409b900f9386d22c26280 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Amin Bandali Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2018 01:53:19 -0400 Subject: [PATCH] [rc/{sway,X}] add custom keyboard layout, mapping Menu to Alt_R MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=utf8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit back when i wasn't on wayland, i used to use xmodmap to remap the menu key to right alt, xmodmap -e "keycode 135 = Alt_R", since, as it turns out, setxkbmap doesn't have an option for that. there being no xkb option for changing menu into right alt meant i was stuck with it on sway, since setxkbmap is X-specific. figuring out how to write my own xkb rules was "fun". at first i did a separate aminb file containing aminb:menu_ralt (à la altwin:menu); but decided it would be simpler to just define my own us(basic)-based layout and make all the changes there. also, no need to map right control to right alt using ctrl:rctrl_ralt anymore. --- rc.org | 16 ++++++++++++++-- 1 file changed, 14 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/rc.org b/rc.org index 654bd8e..c8c71bc 100644 --- a/rc.org +++ b/rc.org @@ -3827,8 +3827,8 @@ input "2:7:SynPS/2_Synaptics_TouchPad" { input "1:1:AT_Translated_Set_2_keyboard" { repeat_delay 200 repeat_rate 45 - xkb_layout us,ir - xkb_options ctrl:nocaps,altwin:swap_alt_win,ctrl:rctrl_ralt,grp:shifts_toggle + xkb_layout us_ab,ir + xkb_options ctrl:nocaps,altwin:swap_alt_win,grp:shifts_toggle } @@ -5047,6 +5047,18 @@ URxvt.color7: #D3D7CF URxvt.color15: #EEEEEC #+end_src +*** xkb us_ab keyboard layout + +#+begin_src conf :tangle "/sudo::/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us_ab" :comments none +default partial alphanumeric_keys +xkb_symbols "us_ab" { + include "us(basic)" + name[Group1]= "English (US)(aminb)"; + + key { [ Alt_R ] }; +}; +#+end_src + ** XDG :PROPERTIES: :header-args+: :tangle ~/.config/user-dirs.dirs -- 2.20.1
