DoubleAltGr

  • Do you type a lot of diarctics (letters with accents) in your language?
  • Are you tired of using just Right Alt to do it?
  • Are you not using the old,normal Left Alt functions just like me?
  • Do you use linux everyday?

Introducing DoubleAltGr - the patch to xkb level3 file that replaces the old Right Alt function to make it behave just like the left one - to make diarctics.

Just copy level3 file as /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/level3 and in layout file of your keyboard layout (ex. /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/cz) add after every line with include "level3(ralt_switch)" the code include "level3(lalt_switch)". Takes couple of minutes, but it's worth it.

But if you are lazy piece of monkey...

...you can just copy already pathed keyboard layout of your language from the folder layouts/ to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/, but you still need to copy level3 to /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/level3.
