[SOLVED] Keymap is on nodeadkeys, but compose key for ...

[SORRY MISSMATCHED NODEADKEYS WITH DEADKEYS THEREFORE POST IS SET TO SOLVED. YOU EVEN CAN DELETE IT] wattaist

Hi (first post here),

maybe I have the same issue as reported here: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 0#p1362320 , but I'm not sure, so I made this new post...

I'm German and use a German locales.

In /etc/vconsole.conf I have:

KEYMAP=de-latin1-nodeadkeys

with that Keymap I should be able to use the compose key for accents, e. g. ´ and e should result in é but I get ´e [special charakters for German who don't need compose keys work like ö ä ß]

This is already the case in console and before starting xorg, so I don't think it's an issue of xorg.conf-settings or so, anyway

I already checked

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ke … ompose_key

with

$ grep -E "(ctrl|caps):" /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst

Output is

compose:ralt         Right Alt
  compose:lwin         Left Win
  compose:lwin-altgr   3rd level of Left Win
  compose:rwin         Right Win
  compose:rwin-altgr   3rd level of Right Win
  compose:menu         Menu
  compose:menu-altgr   3rd level of Menu
  compose:lctrl        Left Ctrl
  compose:lctrl-altgr  3rd level of Left Ctrl
  compose:rctrl        Right Ctrl
  compose:rctrl-altgr  3rd level of Right Ctrl
  compose:caps         Caps Lock
  compose:caps-altgr   3rd level of Caps Lock
  compose:102          <Less/Greater>
  compose:102-altgr    3rd level of <Less/Greater>
  compose:paus         Pause
  compose:prsc         PrtSc
  compose:sclk         Scroll Lock

and in /usr/share/X11/locale/ I don't find any folders for de_DE (to see which Compose rules are defined for this keymap as described in the linked wiki-article]

Don't hesitate to let me know if you need further informations.
