Maybe this gets us closer to the point: Exceed uses a file called 'german.kbf' for input. This is what I get from the XKey tool they use to edit these files for AltGr: Current X mapping for Key labeled ALT GR: Scan code: 0x138 (ALT GR) Unshifted Shifted ModeSwitch Shift Mode Switch Keysym: ModeSwitch NoSymbol NoSymbol NoSymbol Key State: Mod3 > You can start xev for debugging.

Sorry I am no expert at all in these things, but if you could give a step by step instruction how to do this. I would be glad to help. Bye Franz
