[SOLVED] i can't seem to use control_r

sneakybanana362 · 2021-02-17 07:23:23

hi guys, i have this korean keybaord it's basically same layout with exception of two keys
which is Alt_R to Hangul(let's you use hangul characters) Control_R to Hangul_Hanja(let's you use hanzi).
when editing some texts the absence of those two Alt_R and Control_R keys makes harder.

so i tried using xmodmap to remap those and it solved half of problem, i can use Alt_R, but Control_R is just not responding not doing anything.

here's some info what i could find

xmodmap:

xmodmap:  up to 4 keys per modifier, (keycodes in parentheses):

shift       Shift_L (0x32),  Shift_R (0x3e)
lock        Caps_Lock (0x42)
control     Control_L (0x25),  Control_R (0x69)
mod1        Alt_L (0x40),  Alt_R (0x6c),  Meta_L (0xcd)
mod2        Num_Lock (0x4d)
mod3      
mod4        Super_L (0x85),  Super_R (0x86),  Super_L (0xce),  Hyper_L (0xcf)
mod5        ISO_Level3_Shift (0x5c),  Mode_switch (0xcb)

xmodmap -kpe:

keycode 108 = Alt_R Meta_R Alt_R Meta_R
keycode 130 = Alt_R NoSymbol Alt_R
keycode 105 = Control_R NoSymbol Control_R
keycode 131 = Control_R NoSymbol Control_R

i could simply order a american keyboard at amazon but that would take a month to ship here to korea
please help

edit:
i added these at ~/.xprofile and it works now, solved

xmodmap -e 'keycode 130 = Alt_R'
xmodmap -e 'keycode 131 = Control_R'
xmodmap -e 'clear Control'
xmodmap -e 'add Control = Control_L Control_R'

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Keyboard_ … or_Korean)
Which of those?

What's the output of "xev -event keyboard" when you press the right control key?

it reads Control_R, but every control hotkeys doesn't work like control+w(firefox), control+f,b(terminal).
i never used other than korean keyboard, does Control_R do nothing by default?

thanks for helping

How's this solved?
The keycode/symbol is correct, but the state isn't because the modifier map doesn't fit.

xmodmap -pm
