setxkbmap with us altgr-intl layout and altwin:swap_alt_win


Hey,

I like to use the us layout, but also have to type a lot of german text with "δόφ" (umlaute) in it. So I set my keyboard layout like this:

Code:
setxkbmap -layout us -variant altgr-int
Now I can type the umlaute using combinations with the AltGr (right Alt) key.
Works!
Now, I am on a macbook pro and in my opinion the left "Alt" and "Win (command)" keys should be exchanged. Luckily there is an setxbkmap option for that:

Code:
setxkbmap -layout us -variant altgr-intl -option '' -option altwin:swap_alt_win
Unfortunately I can not type my german umlauts using the AltGr key anymore.

Maybe the "altwin:swap_alt_win" changes the meaning of my right AltGr key?

Ideas of what I can do to fix this?

Thanks!
Nathan
