[OpenIndiana-discuss] missing deadkeys in be keyboard

[Marc Lobelle]

Hello everybody,

Apparently, the BE keyboard is decribed in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be.

However, the deadkeys are present in this file, as shown below

    // based on a keyboard map from an 'xkb/symbols/be' file

    default partial alphanumeric_keys
    xkb_symbols "basic" {

         include "latin"

         name[Group1]="Belgian";

         key <AE01>    { [ ampersand,          1,          bar,
    exclamdown ]    };
         key <AE02>    { [    eacute,          2, at,    oneeighth ]    };
         key <AE03>    { [  quotedbl,          3, numbersign,    
    sterling ]    };
         key <AE04>    { [apostrophe,          4, onequarter,      
    dollar ]    };
         key <AE05>    { [ parenleft,          5,      onehalf,
    threeeighths ]    };
         key <AE06>    { [   section,          6,  asciicircum,
    fiveeighths ]    };
         key <AE07>    { [    egrave,          7,    braceleft,
    seveneighths ]    };
         key <AE08>    { [    exclam,          8, bracketleft,   
    trademark ]    };
         key <AE09>    { [  ccedilla,          9, braceleft,   
    plusminus ]    };
         key <AE10>    { [    agrave,          0, braceright,      
    degree ]    };
         key <AE11>    { [parenright,     degree,    backslash,
    questiondown ]    };
         key <AE12>    { [     minus, underscore, dead_cedilla, 
    dead_ogonek ]    };

         key <AD01>    { [         a,          A,           at,
    Greek_OMEGA ]    };
         key <AD02>    { [         z,          Z, lstroke,      Lstroke
    ]    };
         key <AD03>    { [         e,          E, EuroSign,         cent
    ]    };
         key <AD09>  { [         o,          O, oe,           OE ] }; //
    o O œ Œ
         key <AD11>    { [dead_circumflex, dead_diaeresis,  bracketleft,
    dead_abovering ] };
         key <AD12>    { [    dollar,   asterisk, bracketright,
    dead_macron ]    };

         key <AC01>    { [         q,          Q, ae,           AE ]    };
         key <AC10>    { [         m,          M, dead_acute,
    dead_doubleacute ] };

Thus apparently, the BE keyboard is not the be keyboard described in 
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be.

Does anyone know where the keyboards tha are effectively used are 
located and/or how to use the good one, described in 
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/be ?

Thanks,

Marc
