Modified Xmodmap issues
I've recently been attracted to modifying Xmodmap
so I can add special characters that I use daily. I copied an existing Xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us-101 to be exact) and added what I needed, removed keycode 113's (right alt) usage and replaced it with Mode_switch and removed Alt_R from mod1 to complete my editing. So my keys work nicely, hey look יחא, but now ctrl+alt+bs stopped working! So I thought, check out the main config, see if it was my changes. vexer:~$ xmodmap /usr/share/xmodmap/xmodmap.us-101 same thing, no ctrl-alt-bs to exit X windows So then I remove the .Xmodmap and restart X and ctrl+alt+del work fine now. So I check my .xinitrc to see which modmap it's using so I can just add my changes there and be done with it. So I find sysresources=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xresources sysmodmap=/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xinit/.Xmodmap Guess what, those files are non existant. So there is my dilemna. How do I regain control of ctrl+alt+bs? Note: I did not change the value of ctrl, alt_L and bs. -vexer |
Not 10 seconds after posting this lenghty message,
I remembered seeing the README.Xmodmap where is talked about old xfree or systems with backspace issues and using keycode 22 = backspace, then it occured to me. "Hey, maybe that's the problem". Sure enough, I edited out the keycode 22 = backspace with a ! and all works fine now. -vexer |
