<div dir="ltr">For XCompose you do the following:<br><ul><li>Make sure that you have a Multi_key declared. It is usually Right Alt or Right Win buttons. Use xev to make sure.<br></li><li>Copy /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose to ~/.XCompose</li>
<li>Add additional Multi_key combinations at the end of the file.</li><li>Restart X-server.</li><li>Test.</li></ul>xkb is more complicated. I created my own Hebrew map years ago which may be found at:<br><ul><li><a href="http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/Hebrew/pango-hebrew.html">http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/Hebrew/pango-hebrew.html</a></li>
<li><a href="http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/Hebrew/hebrew.xkbmap">http://imagic.weizmann.ac.il/~dov/Hebrew/hebrew.xkbmap</a></li></ul>Btw, in contrast to what it sais in the html page it is enough to load this page through "xkbcomp hebrew.xkbmap. :0".<br>
<br>This file basically declares a second keyboard group, for Hebrew, and for that group I defined what is the key symbol for the unshifted and the shifted characters. (Note contrast to the current Hebrew standard <a href="http://www.qsm.co.il/NewHebrew/Key1452e.htm">http://www.qsm.co.il/NewHebrew/Key1452e.htm</a> .) In additon to nikkud I also put RLM on shift-Zayin and LRM shift-Samech. Shift-Bet to Shift-Tzadik are still unallocated and may e.g. be used for RLO, LRO, RLE, LRE, and PDF. <br>
<br>You switch between keyboard groups with the ISO_Next_group key which I have mapped to the RWIN key.<br><br>Looking again at the old xkbmap and comparing it to my current file it seems that there might be some missing definitions. See if you can get it to work and let me know if there are any problems.<br>
<br>Hope this helps.<br><br>Regards,<br>Dov<br><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Fri, Mar 5, 2010 at 20:22, Dotan Cohen <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:dotancohen@gmail.com">dotancohen@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>
