Hi, > I'm using "ca" keyboard, and was tired that this right control key was mapped > to some 5th modulator key that's seems completely useless... The 'ca' keymap is overloaded with symbols. There are up to 5 symbols per key there and the additional modifier is needed to access fifth symbols. > So I patched "/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/ca", with the following patch of my own, > and it works perfectly fine. I think many people would appreciate this to be > the default. I'm going to make some additional variants of 'ca' keymap. Among Microsoft's keyboard layouts there are three variants of Canadian keyboard - "French", "French (Legacy)" and "Multilingual". Two first use only AltGr modifier and the last only really needs an additional modifier that is RightCtrl too. I hope many people would be satisfied if thay could choose simpler French Canadian keymap. -- Ivan U.
