This is a modified keymap for X11 which I prefer to use on my systems.
|
||
|
||
It's a US-based layout with some special characters available on the
|
||
<Alt>-key on the right side of the space bar (RAlt).
|
||
|
||
Most charachter are available by holding <RAlt> while typing another
|
||
key. E.g. <RAlt>+<a> will give you the german umlaut ä.
|
||
|
||
Deadkey-combinations are available too for creating accented
|
||
characters: Hold <RAlt> and type <,>. Now release <RAlt> and type
|
||
the char you want to get accented.
|
||
|
||
Overview:
|
||
1) German umlauts, ß and Euro-sign:
|
||
RAlt + A, O, U ==> Ä, Ö, Ü
|
||
RAlt + s ==> ß
|
||
RAlt + e ==> €
|
||
|
||
2) Some technical stuff:
|
||
RAlt + m ==> µ
|
||
RAlt + 2, 3 ==> ², ³
|
||
|
||
3) Dead keys for creating accented chars:
|
||
RAlt + , + ... ==> ¸, ç, ȩ, ţ, ḑ, ...
|
||
RAlt + . + ... ==> ˙, ȧ, ė, ṫ, ḋ, ...
|
||
RAlt + ` + ... ==> à, è, ì, ò, ù, ...
|
||
RAlt + ' + ... ==> á, é, í, ó, ú, ...
|
||
RAlt + ; + ... ==> ą, ę, į, ǫ, ų, ...
|
