Regarding the ayer's discussion, it pop'ed up a small question re/ xmodmap;
if I do: $ xmodmap -pke | fgrep ' 24 =' keycode 24 = q Q q Q at Greek_OMEGA at Greek_OMEGA I see that the at-sign in my environment is assigned as the 5th keysym to the keycode 24 and Alt-gr q gives @, even more Alt-gr Shift q gives the Greek_OMEGA: ΩΩΩΩΩΩΩ (perhaps you need an UTF-8 terminal to see it correctly). So far so good. But why the man page of xmodmap(1) says: keycode NUMBER = KEYSYMNAME ... The list of keysyms is assigned to the indicated keycode (which may be specified in decimal, hex or octal and can be determined by running the xev program). Up to eight keysyms may be attached to a key, however the last four are not used in any major X server implementation. The first keysym is used when no modifier key is pressed in conjunction with this key, the second with Shift, the third when the Mode_switch key is used with this key and the fourth when both the Mode_switch and Shift keys are used. i.e. it says that four last values are unused? This is on my system with xorg-7.7 on FreeBSD 11-CURRENT.
