Hi,
Yesterday I modified /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/us. I set CAPS to ISO_Level3_Shift and added Left, Right, Up, Down on the third column (AltGr), as explained here: https://superuser.com/questions/96299/m … ys-under-x
Everything was working great and I could emulate the arrow keys by pressing CAPS + htnw (I'm on dvorak).
Happines lasted for one day. Today I could not log in, because the XDM login screen would receive arrow keys instead of the h t n w keys (without pressing CAPS or any other modifier). Those letters were gone from my keyboard.
Why would XDM assume CAPS is pressed? (or whatever it's doing). Any ideas how to solve this?
Update: I forgot to mention the purpose of my tweak: map the arrow keys to the fingers on the resting position using CAPS as modifier, to avoid moving my hands so much. Same idea as in emacs or vi, but globally.
