Navigation keys defined in Gnome Level 3

Hi,

  I have set up level 3 keyboard to use the Caps Lock to access the level 3 / level 4 character sets.

 

The good news: IJ does recognize/respect some of them - specifically the non-special/navigation keys that map to characters.

 

But some of the keys are navigations such as Home End Prior Next  Left Right Up Down.  All of those are ignored by IJ.

 

Is there any way to get IJ to recognize them?

 

 

thanks!

Re: Navigation keys defined in Gnome Level 3

Hi Stephen,

 

I'm afraid the problem is a bit unclear. Questions:

  1. What is your layout?
  2. Am I right understanding the there are third-level mappings to standard navigation keys (Home, End etc) at your layout and IJ doesn't recognize those navigation keys typed via the thrid-level key?

Re: Navigation keys defined in Gnome Level 3

The mentioned Xmodmap snippet doesn't define any 'navigation key' mappings for third-level layout.

 

E.g. 'keycode  24 = q Q q Q BackSpace Adiaeresis adiaeresis' - the third-level mapping for 24 (q) is just 'q' (the third column); 'keycode  26 = e E e E asciitilde Eacute eacute' - 'e' etc.
