I'm using Xubuntu 14.04. My keyboard is a Belgian AZERTY. I never use my menu key, and I use the delta sign a lot. I'm not willing to switch keyboard layouts to Greek, as the delta is the only thing I use. I've tried:
- Xmodmap, but that didn't work as it isn't compatible anymore, someone told me.
- A combination of Xbindkeys and Xte
I've put this in my .xbindkeysrc file:
"xte 'keydown Control_L' 'keydown Shift_L' 'key u' 'key agrave' 'key quotedbl' 'key ccedilla' 'key apostrophe' 'keyup Control_L' 'keyup Shift_L'"
Menu
This didn't do anything, even after restarting, except that I can't use the menu key anymore (I intended to do that, but it had to type a delta too.)
- Adding the Xte command above as a keyboard shortcut. Didn't work, again, except stopping the menu key from doing its normal job. Note: the command does type a delta for me if I enter it in the terminal, it's just not working as a keyboard shortcut.
Any other ways to do this, or things I am do wrong? And how can I do this with Xkb, because I have no clue and it seems to be Xmodmap's replacement?
