Hello, I'm German with a German QWERTZ keyboard layout. I study Russian to be able to read and understand Russian news channels (and not only our mainstream propaganda). I've configured with a file of xmodmaps commands using the Win-key as modifiers so that Win+key gives the row of chars below the lines of normal German chars: ^ 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 ¿ ´ <--- German ^ ¡ 2 @ 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 \ ´ q w e r t z u i o p ü + <--- German я ш е р т з у и о п ю + <--- Russian (Win+key) a s d f g h j k l ö ä # <--- German а с д ф г х й к л ё э щ <--- Russian (Win+key) < y x c v b n m , . - <--- German « ы ж ч в б н м ь ъ ц <--- Russian (Win+key) What I'm missing a bit are the correct Russian labels on the keys and I always have some small jpeg picture on the screen to find them, like the attached one. Some better idea how to solve this to get correct Russian UTF-8 chars while typing?
