Created attachment 11475 [details] [review] Patch against /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gb for Apple Pro USB keyboard Andrew, I am not excited about your patch. It does not look like UK-specific but rather as model-specific. Would you consider adding new model (and putting new section into symbols/inet)? Perhaps you could point me in the direction of good documentation? The Macintosh keyboard symbols seem spread across, and duplicated in, at least symbols/gb and symbols/macintosh_vndr/gb. Logically, the second place seems more sensible, but after already selecting a model of "apple", as a user having "gb" as the layout in xorg.conf makes more sense than "macintosh_vndr/gb". > Perhaps you could point me in the direction of good documentation? The > Macintosh keyboard symbols seem spread across, and duplicated in, at least > symbols/gb and symbols/macintosh_vndr/gb. Unfortunately, there is no "good documentation" here. There is only documentation mentioned at xkeyboard-config home page: http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/XKeyboardConfig. See the Links section. But it would not help you much. The macintosh_vndr directory is badly maintained. The "mac" section in symbols/gb only describes the keys which are UK-specific on mac keyboards (well, at least that's what I think it does:) There is mac-specific model in symbols/inet already, so it would not be difficult to use it as example. Sorry, I see where I've caused confusion. Only the FK* definitions should go in symbols/inet, I think. Although, I can't get X.org to report the keysyms when I press Right-Alt F3, say - it still comes up as F3 with a modifier. If X.org doesn't support reporting different keysyms for function + modifier, it's not worth keeping the definitions anyway ;-) The TLDE, AC11 and LSGT keys are all UK-layout on the new Apple keyboard. These should go in symbols/gb, probably? I04, I77, NFER, NMLK and KPEQ should go in the general Apple one? Which'd be what? Thanks for your prompt help with this. > Only the FK* definitions should go in symbols/inet, I think.

For example, FOUR_LEVEL (see types/extra). > The TLDE, AC11 and LSGT keys are all UK-layout on the new Apple keyboard. These > should go in symbols/gb, probably? Yes it sounds logical. > I04, I77, NFER, NMLK and KPEQ should go in the general Apple one? Which'd be > what? I would say so. > Thanks for your prompt help with this.
