Super User Asked by Damien Robert on January 26, 2021
In the xkb guide on archlinux: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X_keyboard_extension
we see this configuration to set up LWIN as an ISO_Level3_Shift
xkb_symbols {
key <LWIN> { [ISO_Level3_Shift ] };
modifier_map Mod5 { ISO_Level3_Shift };
}
xkb_compatibility {
interpret ISO_Level3_Shift { action= SetMods(modifiers=Mod5); };
}
Now I am a bit confused.
ISO_Level3_Shift is a virtual modifier. So we need to map it to a real modifier somehow. But what is the difference between modifier_map Mod5 { ISO_Level3_Shift };
and interpret ISO_Level3_Shift { action= SetMods(modifiers=Mod5); };
? Why do we need both?
In the xkb file compat/level5
I see things like
interpret ISO_Level5_Shift+Any {
useModMapMods= level1;
virtualModifier= LevelFive;
action= SetMods(modifiers=LevelFive);
};
interpret ISO_Level5_Shift {
action= SetMods(modifiers=LevelFive);
};
What does useModMapMods
and virtualModifier
mean here?
