Re: Combining Ctrl + Super_l + ' (quote) does not work

Thanks for the tips. I used xev to get the kecodes conformed.   I tried making the changes you suggested, and here is what I got:

phoenix% xmodmap               
xmodmap:  up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x6d)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_R (0x71)
mod2     
mod3        Hyper_L (0x80)
mod4        Super_L (0x73),  Super_R (0x74)
mod5        Mode_switch (0x5d),  ISO_Level3_Shift (0x7c)


Note the absence of Meta_L and Meta_R: whenever I tried "add mod2 = Meta_L and Meta_R" it would register as "Alt_L and Alt_R" and then Alt modifier commands would stop working.  I could not produce Meta_L and Meta_R in xev, and xmodmap reports these as:

    64        0xffe9 (Alt_L)    0xffe7 (Meta_L)   
    113        0xffea (Alt_R)    0xffe8 (Meta_R)   

In any event, the after making the changes above it still did not fix the original problem.  I still cannot get C-s-' but only on Control_L + Super_L + ' .   Super_R works fine, and Super_L works fine with Control_R too.

I'm a little confused why all this xmodmap is necessary.. I can get s-' working on both Super_L and Super_R just fine, as well as C-' with Control_L and Control_R.  and I can get C-s-' with any combo of Control and Super with exception of C_L and S_L.   I'm having a feeling that it's more emacs thing than xmodmap thing.

Thanks for the suggestions... keep them coming if you spot something worth trying.

Cheers,

Yarek

Alt and Meta are the same – not good. Throw away Num_Lock and put Meta into its slot. Then move Hyper to mod3. Now you can add Super_R as another mod4.

Before you can add any modifier you first need to declare it as a key, for example (with decimal number):

       keycode 116 = Super_R

The utility xev can tell you the key's code. Once it's defined, xmodmap -pk should list it. Then you can make it a modifier.

As an example one of my corrections works like this:

       clear Mod1
       add Mod1 = Alt_L Alt_R
       clear Mod2
       add Mod2 = Meta_L Meta_R
