Gregory's ServerGot Caps Lock working as the Compose key, so that's great. The answer was to specify xkb_options compose:caps for the keyboard input. But getting the less key instead of the backslash key remains a problem. xev shows "keycode 94 (keysym 0x3c, less)" for the key in question. If only I knew the name of a variant that would immediately change that to backslash.

 Also, how do I suspend? Is there a command to run? With Gnome I was used to typing the GUI key and "suspend" to do what I did… This seems to work, but it's not super well integrated into the UI. When you suspend the laptop (using some other program), and then wake it up again, you're in a Linux console and have to provide the disk password again. This looks very different from what you see ordinarily but it works for me. |
OK, using "us" layout and "intl" variant the backslash key works as intended, but now I have all those accents to deal with, having to press them twice for them to not combine with the next letter. Gaaah. And always the guesswork involved.
