xmodmap “keycode” command confusion
Determining keycode assignments for X.org on a PChow to assign another modifier to Alt key for X11?How to set an xmodmap file for the session manager (or at least SLiM) because of a broken physical keyOpenbox overwrites xmodmap configurationHow can I write a “idempotent” .Xmodmapxmodmap keybindings don't workxmodmap shift + keycode to produce keysymChanging specific keys on Apple keyboard under Fedora 22Unable to find keycode for volume key on Apple keyboardxmodmap key bindings reset when I open a new tab in the shell
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}
I'm working on getting a custom xmodmap
configuration set up and I can't for the life of me understand some of the behavior from the keycode NUMBER = KEYSYMNAME ...
option.
See below for some quick examples to demonstrate what I mean.
Assume I have the following setup as the output of xmodmap -pke
keycode 41 d D d D
If I run xmodmap -e "keycode 41 = a"
, I get keycode 41 a A a A
as the result.
Similarly, with xmodmap -e "keycode 41 = a b"
, I get keycode 41 a b a b
as the result.
Again, with xmodmap -e "keycode 41 = a b c"
I get keycode 41 a b c C
as the result.
Finally, with xmodmap -e "keycode 41 = a b c d"
I get keycode 41 a b c d
as the result.
What in the world? All of these settings are entirely unintuitive, with the exception of the last one where I set all 4 spaces. Is this an example of undefined/undocumented behavior, or is this well-documented somewhere?
According to my understanding of this setting, the first one should result in simply keycode 41 a
, the second in keycode 41 a b
, and so on and so forth. Clearly, this is not what is happening. Does anyone have any insight as to why this may be?
