Hi,
I bought Logitech Deluxe (Model name: Y-SU61). It has an additional
key (keycode 94, keysym 0x3c) which is located in the second (from the
bottom) horizontal row between left shift and 'z', marked with `|' and
'\' on it.
I wonder if it is possible to make better use of it (the key that is)
that it's used now. I usually spend all my time in Emacs editing Lisp
sources (chiefly). Here's an excerpt from my XF86Config-4
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "keyboard"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xfree86"
Option "XkbModel" "pc104"
Option "XkbLayout" "us,ru"
Option "XkbVariant" "winkeys"
Option "XkbOptions"
"grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,alt:altismeta"
EndSection
The key behaves in strict accordance with /etc/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86
<LSGT> = 94;
and /etc/X11/xkb/symbols/ru
key <LSGT> { [ less, greater ],
[ slash, bar ] };
but to me it seems neither sensible nor convenient.
The another somehow related question. The only way I know in Emacs to
change character sets is to call toggle-input-method. By default it is
bound to C-\. According to
Option "XkbOptions"
"grp:ctrl_shift_toggle,grp_led:scroll,alt:altismeta"
the groups are changed by Shift+Ctrl. So the problem: working outside
Emacs I have to use Ctrl+Shift (or any other combination among the
choices offered by Xkb, but none of them is C-\), inside Emacs --
C-\. Trying as hard as I could, still I was unable to figure out is it
possible or not to use _the same_ key combination for switching from
Latin to KOI8 characters everywhere. Would you please suggest
something?
Using Debian Sarge
Thanks in advnace
