Once upon a time I have hacked /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/nokia_vndr/rx-51 file in order to make typing Polish national characters easier using hardware keyboard. Namely, I've managed to work around Fn->Ctrl key sequence to disable on-screen keypad to appear and use Fn+Ctrl+letter combination to get a Polish character directly from hw keyboard. [1]
Anyway, this solution isn't ideal and I'm looking a way to improve it a little. Currently, to type "ą" letter I need to press rather awkward Fn+Ctrl+A key combination at the same time. What I'd like to be able to do is to type a *sequence* of keys instead, so Fn->Ctrl->A = ą. Simple question: how to do that? :) My implementation of rx-51 file [2] is using "Group2" mode to store table of Polish special chars (see line #88 onwards) and Fn-Ctrl combination triggers Mode_switch (see line #504), which puts keyboard into Group2. That works ok but it seems that I have to press Fn+Ctrl *simultaneously* to use Mode_switch, while I'm looking for a sequence of key presses to do that. It is somehow possible, as originally Fn->Ctrl sequence was triggering on-screen keypad (known as "Multi_key" in rx-51 file). Are there any input method hackers flying with us and could shed a light on possible solution? That would be greatly appreciated.
