[Fluxbox-users] AltGr-q in terminel

[Kai Wüst]

Hello,

I'd like to use a german keyboard, but I can't figure out how to prevent fluxbox from disabling any character created with AltGr.
On the console, AltGr-q inserts a "@", running fluxbox a "q" is shown.
Is it possible to add an entry to the keys-file to add AltGr-q as a shortcut so the @ is inserted ? Or is there some other possibility?
Thanks.

Did you set correct keyboard undex X?

If you use xinit or startx to start fluxbox, add in ~/.xinitrc this line before 'exec startfluxbox':

setxkbmap -model pc105 -layout de -variant winkeys

If it don't work search for a better layout and model.

Works fine here... Did you configured your keyboard in X11?

What xmodmap says? do you see this:

mod5 ISO_Level3_Shift

Remember that console and X11 use different keyboard configs, you
can load a new keyboard in X11 using "setxkbmap de" (i assume you want
the de keyboard)

If still don't work, maybe a locale problem? I'm running
LANG and LC_ALL=pt_PT.UTF-8 on fluxbox 1.3.7. Do this happens in all X11
apps? If yes, try changing the locale in a terminal by doing this:

export LC_ALL=de_DE.utf8
xterm

Then try your keyboard inside the new xterm terminal. If it works
fine, setup that locale as your machine default and restart. If not...
no idea


Good luck

Naturally the common people don't want war... but after all it is the
leaders of a country who determine the policy, and it is always a
simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or
a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship.
Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of
the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is tell them they are
being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and
exposing the country to danger. It works the same in every country.
