Hi Karl,
Thanks for the tip.
I just enforced Alt+w to be å using:
xmodmap -e "keycode 25 = w W aring Aring aring Aring"
Not it is just a matter to add it into my .xinitrc. Not sure nowadays the desktop environments read it, but at the least it will be saved in some
place I can easily find.
And thanks Staffan for the tip also, but as Karl mentioned, it doesn't
work. The result is: óá (using us-international).
Vänliga hälsningar/Best Regards,

Does anybody know how to create the "å" using or composition keys or
<Alt>
on Linux em general?
If Staffans method didn't work/apply...
If you use the older method of xmodmap, you can check if it know about
it. In my case å is altgr-e:
$ xmodmap -pke | grep -i aring
keycode 26 = e E aring Aring
I don't know much about the newer xkb method, but here is what I
figured out. Check if you have it configured like
grep Xkb /etc/X11/xorg.conf /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/*
or check the xserver current setting with
setxkbmap -print
or
xprop -root | grep XKB
E.g. here is what I get if I manually set xkb:
$ setxkbmap -rules xorg -model pc105 -layout us
$ xprop -root | grep XKB
CUT_BUFFER0(STRING) = "xprop -root | grep XKB"
_XKB_RULES_NAMES(STRING) = "xorg", "pc105", "us", "", ""
$ setxkbmap -print
xkb_keymap {
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
xkb_types { include "complete" };
xkb_compat { include "complete" };
xkb_symbols { include "pc+us+inet(pc105)" };
xkb_geometry { include "pc(pc105)" };
};
Then look into the dirs. of /usr/share/X11/xkb for matching files:
xkb_keycodes { include "xfree86+aliases(qwerty)" };
is xkb_<directory> { include "<file>..." },i.e.
/usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/xfree86 and
/usr/share/X11/xkb/keycodes/aliases
etc. I would start with the files in the symbols directory, in my
case the file pc, us, and inet to see if I can find any info about
composing keys or the aring symbol. You would probably need to read
a lot from the links provided by https://www.x.org/wiki/XKB/ if you
want to to understand thoose files.
Hälsningar,
/Karl Hammar
