</div>One way to achieve it is this:<br>
<br>
key <AE12> {<br>
type[Group1] = "LOCAL_EIGHT_LEVEL",<br>
symbols[Group1]= [ equal, plus, multiply, division, equal, plus, U2339, division ]<br>
};<br>
<br>
but then you also have to make your right Alt key a ISO_Level3_Shift,<br>
and you will not be able use Control as a real Control key together with<br>
AE12; it will be a level-selection key only (except for application with<br>
poor XKB support).<br>
<br>
Another way is this:<br>
<br>
key <AE12> {<br>
type[Group1] = "TWO_LEVEL",<br>
type[Group2] = "LOCAL_EIGHT_LEVEL",<br>
symbols[Group1]= [ equal, plus ],<br>
symbols[Group2]= [ multiply, division, NoSymbol, NoSymbol, U2339, NoSymbol, NoSymbol, NoSymbol ]<br>
};<br>
<br>
which allows you to leave your right Alt key as is (Mode_switch), and<br>
allows Control to be used normally unless it is used together with the<br>
right Alt key. It also has the advantage that for clients that are not<br>
XKB-aware, all symbols except U2339 remain accessible. I guess this is<br>
the easiest way for you.<br>
<br>
I would probably use<br>
<br>
key <AE12> {<br>
type[Group1] = "EIGHT_LEVEL",<br>
symbols[Group1]= [ equal, plus, multiply, division, equal, plus, U2339, division ]<br>
};<br>
<br>
and make the right Alt key an ISO_Level3_Shift and some other key an<br>
ISO_Level5_Shift. It has the advantage that Control is not used for<br>
level selection and, therefore, least trouble with applications are to<br>
be expected.<br>
