Fair enough, but with my keyboard layout set to British from the
Preferences menus, X11 xterms don't match KeyCaps, they have dead
grave,
circum and tilde instead of normal ones, and the euro symbol
(alt-shift-2)
doesn't work (though that last one is probably to do with the symbol
being
missing from the xterm font or some other reason that doesn't count as
a
bug).
These are bugs that were found since the last release, the euro symbol
issue has been fixed, we're still investigating the dead keys
btw, if you really want to use the keymapping files, you can do:
defaults write com.apple.x11 keymap_file UK.keymapping
Well, that would be one way to have working ~`^ keys for now. But why
are
the "obsolete" keymapping files still supported in this new app if they
are obsolete?
Because we wanted to give people a way to revert to the previous
behaviour if necessary.
