Currently only my right Alt key (which xev
prints out as keycode 108 / "ISO-Level3-Shift"
) is able to print 3rd-level characters like {[]}
. The left Alt key (xev
shows it as keycode 64 / Alt_L
) doesn't do anything, even though I set it via xmodmap
like this:
xmodmap -e "keycode 64 = ISO_Level3-Shift"
This didn't work but (for some reason) made things even worse. After using the command, the right Alt key stopped working printing these characters but produced a long sequence of what seems to be filenames, like this:
{.{7\ Wonders\ -\ Magical\ Mystery\ Tour,A{quaria,tomicWorm},Broken\ Rules,CrayonPhysicsDeluxe,F{BReader,ashionCents,ontmatr...
I also tried to use the option for "3rd level" in the keyboard-layout preferences, which didn't work either. Any thoughts?
