1 ! xmodmap for en_GB keyboard layout with German umlauts
 2 !
 3 ! used websites to build this file:
 4 !   http://www.gentooforum.de/thread.php?threadid=12854
 5 !   http://howtos.linux.com/howtos/Intkeyb/index.shtml
 6 !   http://home.edo.uni-dortmund.de/~orclex/technik/linux.php
 7 !
 8 ! compose keys:
 9 !   http://www.w3.org/Amaya/User/editing_iso-latin-1_characters/about_standard_multikey_support.html
10 
11 ! available keysyms:
12 !   /usr/include/X11/keysymdef.h
13 !
14 ! could be very interesting, too:
15 !   /usr/share/X11/xkb/
16 
17 ! to autoload the xmodmap, there are at least two options:
18 !   • name the file .Xmodmap (or create an symlink with that name)
19 !   • use an entry in ~/.xsession
20 !
21 ! compose keys:
22 !   /usr/share/X11/locale/en_US.UTF-8/Compose
23 
24 ! print current mappings:
25 !   xmodmap -pke
26 !
27 ! use 'xset -r 111' to disable 'repeat keys' for some keys
28 ! set repeat keys speed with 'xset r rate 200 25' for example
