! NOTE: If you mess up, you can reset the keyboard with:
! setxkbmap -layout us

! Choose one (also see .bashrc for kbd-* aliases):
! A) FOR PC-style hardware keyboard:
! Left WIN (Super_L) key to Mode_switch (this brings out the 2nd and 3rd items of the keycode lines)
!keysym Super_L = Mode_switch
! B) FOR MAC-style hardware keyboard:
! Left Alt (Alt_L) key to Mode_switch (this brings out the 2nd and 3rd items of the keycode lines)
!keysym Alt_L = Mode_switch
! Set Left WIN (Super_L) to Alt (mod1)
!keysym Super_L = Alt_L

! Map CapsLock to Control_L
clear Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L
add Control = Control_L

! Let's make the Menu key a separate Shift,
! but reassign it first to avoid the original function
!keysym Menu = Super_L
!remove Mod1 = Alt_L
!add Mod5 = Alt_L

! Dead keys -- set accents like on the mac os x
