As ø takes the place of ; on Norwegian keyboards, I want to use $mod+ø instead of $mod+; for the vimmish "focus right".
However, trying to use this command just prints "ø" in the shell.
How do I get this to work?
--
Found this out, but I still can't get - and | to work as special keys (I want them to split windows tmux-style). Any takers?
The answer was setting it to $mod+oslash... embarrased
Try to use bindcode command instead of bindsym. Here as an example from my config:
bindcode $mod+34 [class="Konsole"] scratchpad show
bindcode $mod+35 [class="Google-chrome|X-www-browser"] scratchpad showThese hotkeys work in different layouts (english and russian for me). To get the code of specific key use xev tool. Example output from xev tool for the "[" key:
KeyPress event, serial 32, synthetic NO, window 0x4200001,
root 0x9e, subw 0x0, time 156960544, (621,116), root:(623,155),
state 0x10, keycode 34 (keysym 0x5b, bracketleft), same_screen YES,
XLookupString gives 1 bytes: (5b) "["
XmbLookupString gives 1 bytes: (5b) "["
XFilterEvent returns: FalseAs you can see on the third line keycode of this key is 34.

I've changed the keys to the Norwegian layout using the setxkbmap in shell config file if that matters.
