Multi_Key problems (Ubuntu Gnome 14.10, Finnish layout)
 

Greetings.

I have a slight problem regarding my right Windows key, which is working as a Multi_Key (Compose).
I'd like it to work as a Super key instead of a Multi_Key since I don't need the latter.
Picture of my keyboard for reference if needed
Xev reports the right Windows key to have a keycode of 134. If you need more information, I'm more than happy to provide.

Thank you for your time.

hokkupi,

Welcome to LQ.

You have probably looked at these links already:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/ComposeKey


I suggest that you look in:

and look under option for compose, altwin etc and see if there is anything suitable for your requirements.

If there is, then open Terminal:


Then enter the desired key value between the quotation marks in:

XKBOPTIONS=""

Save the modified file and exit.

Additional information

My Compose key options on a UK keyboard are:

Compose key Position of Compose key
compose:ralt Right Alt
compose:lwin Left Win
compose:lwin-altgr 3rd level of Left Win
compose:rwin Right Win
compose:rwin-altgr 3rd level of Right Win
compose:menu Menu
compose:menu-altgr 3rd level of Menu
compose:lctrl Left Ctrl
compose:lctrl-altgr 3rd level of Left Ctrl
compose:rctrl Right Ctrl
compose:rctrl-altgr 3rd level of Right Ctrl
compose:caps Caps Lock
compose:caps-altgr 3rd level of Caps Lock
compose:102 <Less/Greater>
compose:102-altgr 3rd level of <Less/Greater>
compose:paus Pause
compose:prsc PrtSc
compose:sclk Scroll Lock

Under xev, my Right Windows key is 134 and this is the Super key (keycode 134 keysm 0xffec, Super_R), NOT the Compose key .

Your one may in fact be the Compose key as you stated in your post.
Please double-check this.

If your Right Windows key is the Super key then you are okay.

If your Right Windows key is the Compose key, then change it to the Right Alt (AltGr) key by entering compose:ralt in XKBOPTIONS=""

to give

This will free up the Right Windows key to be used as the Super key.

By the way, all the Finnish keyboards I found looked nothing like your one.

Sadly that didn't work. However, I found the solution from Debian documentation soon after.

From here to be precise.

hokkupi,

I am glad that you fixed it.
