| Feb 7, 2018 at 23:11 | comment | added | thebunnyrules | I'll give it a try and edit my answer accordingly if I see that it works. What does taking out the modifier_map line do? | |
| Feb 5, 2018 at 19:36 | comment | added | quixotic | Menu is not normally a modifier key, so you shouldn't leave the modifier_map line in the alteration. | |
| Jan 7, 2018 at 2:04 | comment | added | thebunnyrules | I'm on a laptop so I wasn't too worried about other KBs but you make a good point about xkb updates overwriting the mod. How would I go about modifying the layout? If you know how, could you put it up as an answer? | |
| Jan 4, 2018 at 8:50 | comment | added | dirkt | Note that if you modify stuff in /usr/share/X11/xkb, the changes will be undone the next time you upgrade the xkb software package, and you'll affect all keyboard layouts using those files. The "proper", bulletproof way (which needs more work) is to add your own layout using new files, without modifying the existing files. | |
