xset r xkeysymtokeycode instead of keycode for modified keys
Hello community,
can I use xkeysymtokeycodes instead of keycodes with xset in any possible way?
I assume it might be impossible.
WHAT I WANT TO ACHIEVE:
I would like to activate auto repetition only for moving the cursor with the NEO keyboard layout.
The problem is that I use neo layout where the arrow keys are in layer under the esdf keys, using the alt-right modifier in the 4 layer.
WHAT I TRIED:
Therefore, I used xset for the dedicated arrow keycodes e.g. 111. The problem is, that the neo keyboard layout uses the alt-right key as a modifier with the E key to move the cursor. When I use xev to find out which key code is active when I move the cursor with the edfs+altr key it shows the keycode for the E key. So, when I turn on autorepeating for the E key only, the courser movement works as well. But I only want to have auto repetition on the cursor movement, so I can decrease the delay without mistyping letters.
Thank you very much for your Help

https://tronche.com/gui/x/xlib/input/ke … ardControl is for the key, not the symbol.
You could go w/ a high-ish delay and high rate or some shortctut to toggle autorepeat or alter its rate (eg. altgr+space or so)
