Right now I'm only in the testing phase, but once I'm finished, hopefully, this will be the most concise and helpful explanation of how to configure xkb without being so darn confusing. So any time I have to try a few things, I'll post my findings here, and if anyone has already tried something, let me know what happened.

Goal:

The first goal is to remove a keyboard layout that uses dead keys and relies on xim.

Trial 1:

key <AC01> { [ a, A, U13A0, U02E5 ] };
key <LWIN> { 1, 2, 3};

1. type[Group1]="ONE_LEVEL"
2. symbols[Group1]=[ ISO_LEVEL3_SHIFT ]
3. locks=True
By pressing the Left Windows key, I can switch between typing using a or U13A0, the Shift keys allow me to use A or U02E5.

Here's my second blog entry. Hi again. It's half-term week, so I've taken a break from my usual language learning to look at a book on Japanese that my mother got me. I've found Japanese fascinating for a long time, but I put off learning more about it, because the script is so difficult to understand. I'm doing alright, though, and I am now thinking about trying to go further with it.
Anyway, the main thing I want to bring up today is how frustrating it is to have a strong passion which people around you don't share or understand.
