Hi, I'm trying to modify my xkb config so that to map CTRL+ALT combination to ALTGR, so that symbols normaly accessible with ALTGR+key can also be obtained with CTRL+ALT+key (The same behaviour as in W2K). This behaviour is very handy for eg. azerty keyboard when you type with 10 fingers ex: on Be keyboard, left brace is obtained normally with ALTGR-8; in W2K we can also do CTRL-ALT-8, which is more convenient when you type with your 10 fingers. I had no problem to do this in console keymaps (text mode). In keymaps, it was quite easy to map some modifier combination + keycode to some symbol, but it seems much more difficult in X11/xkb. I tried several things to no avail: add a new type (like a 6 level type with AltGr,Control,Alt), add new modifiers mapping in symbols/, add new compat/ action, etc. No way, I'm lost. The best I could achieve is to make it works in some edit box, but it doesn't work in say konsole or kate. Actually, I suspect that this is because although <LCTRL> with Alt modifier is mapped to ISO_Level3_Shift, the Alt modifier is still active, and so the X application thinks I'm doing combination like Alt-Altgr-8, instead of Altgr-8 to get leftbrace on a Be keyboard. Thanks a lot for any help.
