Hello,

I'm German with a German QWERTZ keyboard layout. I study Russian to be
able to read and understand Russian news channels (and not only our
mainstream propaganda).

I've configured with a file of xmodmaps commands using the Win-key as
modifiers so that Win+key gives the row of chars below the lines of
normal German chars:


^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 ¿ ´   <--- German
^ ¡ 2 @ 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 \ ´   

  q w e r t z u i o p ü +   <--- German
  я ш е р т з у и о п ю +   <--- Russian (Win+key)

  a s d f g h j k l ö ä #   <--- German
  а с д ф г х й к л ё э щ   <--- Russian (Win+key)

  < y x c v b n m , . -     <--- German
  « ы ж ч в б н м ь ъ ц     <--- Russian (Win+key)

What I'm missing a bit are the correct Russian labels on the keys and I
always have some small jpeg picture on the screen to find them, like the
attached one. Some better idea how to solve this to get correct Russian
UTF-8 chars while typing?

Thanks

	matthias
