Additional XKB options for mvo ------------------------------ These options modify the keyboard layout to match what I have been using for 15 years or so. # How to add an option so that it shows up in GNOME Tweak Tool - Change /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.xml and add a <group> element inside the <optionList> element like this: <optionList> ... <group> <configItem> <name>tweaks</name> <description>Blah</description> </configItem> <option> <configItem> <name>tweaks:blah</name> <description>Blah blah blah</description> </configItem> </option> </group> ... </optionList> - Add a line to /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev like this: ! option = symbols ... + tweaks:blah = +tweaks(blah) ... - Create /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/tweaks with something like this partial modifier_keys xkb_symbols "blah" { [..] }; Then run gnome-tweak-tool. There should be a new entry called "Tweaks" in the "Typing" section. Checking the checkbox should immediately activate whatever is in the /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/tweaks file.
