Towards an Ideal GNU Linux / Xorg HHKB Keyboard Layout

[bloom]

All the modifiers placed on 'occupied' keys have a dual role behavior.
I think I found the right tool for the task :

Jesus you must be some kind of emacs user with all of those meta keys. Haven't heard of modal interfaces yet? Reminds me of the space cadet LISP board.

Do you use Tab, \| and Return as modifier keys?

Do you use Tab, \| and Return as modifier keys?

At least I'm planning to.
On the HHKB, the Delete key is just above Return.

I prefer to use a close-to-standard layout because I switch between Linux/Xorg and Mac OSX and I wanted to have equivalent Emacs bindings on both; right now I've got:

Linux:

Code: [Select]


CTRL
SHIFT                             SHIFT | FN
META (alt) | FN | SPACE | SUPER | COMPOSE (alt-gr)


I use SUPER for all my window-manager key bindings, so they don't interfere with any standard bindings for applications.

And on OSX, SUPER = CMD and COMPOSE/META = alt (I still don't understand why OSX doesn't support a compose key).
