Keyboard

In ~/.xmodmap:

keycode 133 = Multi_key
keycode 134 = Multi_key
keycode 94 = Escape
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
remove Control = Control_L
keysym Control_L = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Lock = Caps_Lock
add Control = Control_L

The two first lines remaps the keys 133 and 134 (respectively left and right apple) on compose (Alt Gr). I use it to write accuented characters. I obtained the keycode 134 with xev, then I pushed the right-apple key (on a Macbook).

The third line remaps the key "<>" (between the left-shift and the 'w' on an azerty keyboard i.e. I use an azerty keyboard remapped in qwerty en_US) to escape. As a vim user, I find the escape key too far from letters.

The remaining lines swaps Caps Lock and the left Control key. They come from the xmodmap(1) manpage.

Then to type accented characters:

• acute accent: Alt-Gr ' e (or a, o, n, etc...)
• grave accent: Alt-Gr ` e
• ü = Alt-Gr " u
• ô = Alt-Gr ^ o
• ç = Alt-Gr , c
• ñ = Alt-Gr ~ n
• å = Alt-Gr o a
• æ = Alt-Gr a e
• Œ = Alt-Gr O E
• ø = Alt-Gr / o
• ß = Alt-Gr s s

To enter special character from their unicode value in urxvt, hold control and shift and type de character code like control+shit+2014 = '—'.
