I managed to make it work by adding new type (xkb/types) and then modifying symbols (xkb/symbols). However I don't have this configuration any more. The main difference was that Linux symbols has 2 default groups, and new type used 4 groups. AltGr switches to group + 1; CapsLock to group 3. </blockquote><div> What did you add in xkb/types ? do you have any documentation about setting this file ? because i really don't know how to interpret this : virtual_modifiers Alt; virtual_modifiers LevelThree; type "PC_BREAK" { modifiers = Control; map[None] = Level1; map[Control] = Level2; level_name[Level1] = "Base"; level_name[Level2] = "Control"; }; thanks for you help, Mobidyc </div></div>
