Created attachment 96965 [details] Proposed patch for last version of git code Hello, A user of Debian have proposed a patch for xmodmap manpage: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=557124 Can you integrate it please? Thanks for your help. Regards, -- Stéphane Aulery
I think I'll give this a NAK, because the new documentation is approximately as imprecise as the old one but IMO harder to understand. XKB controls most of the keymapping now but xmodmap doesn't know about it. So what really happens when you assign 8 keysyms depends on the key type. If you assign 8 syms to a TWO_LEVEL key type the syms are split across 4 groups. If you assign 8 syms to a EIGHT_LEVEL keytype, the syms are within the same group. And the type also defines which modifier does what.
Ok. I forwards your response and closes the bug. Thanks.
