Strange key stroke behaviour in editor in Linux

<< < (3/3)

Jenna:
On my german gnome (on openSuse) the settings are in "System -> Hardware -> Tastatur -> Belegungen -> Optionen" ("system -> hardware -> -> keyboard ...").
On debian it's "settings" ("Einstellungen") instead of hardware.

PgmHelmi:
Unfortunately it is not that easy. If I set the compose key position in that setting to another key, it is an additional compose key to the Right-Ctrl key. The Right-Ctrl Key
was not checked from the beginning. After searching in internet my knowledge up to now is, that there exist a compose key setting for XWindow and one for Gnome/GTK+. I think the
setting you mentioned is for Gnome/GTK+, but the XWindow settings are used additionally. So I am searching to disabling or changing the compose key of the XWindow system in
OpenSuse.

Kind regards!

PgmHelmi:
Finally found a solution:

In /etc/X11 is a file named Xmodmap which contains examples for changing keys. Copy this file as .Xmodmap into your $HOME directory or create an empty file with that name.
Add following line into that file:
keysym Control_R = Control_R
After next login Shift + Ctrl_R is not the compose key anymore. More info you get with man xmodmap.
It is a per user solution but it is enough for me. Could not find how to change it for whole system.

Thanks to all for trying to help me, especially Jens.

Only out of curiosity I would like to ask again: Is it intended, that the forum can only be searched by registered persons?

Kind regards!
