Hello,
I use a very sophisticated keyboard layout that I created as whole xkb map description which I compile using xkbcomp (for easiness of use on more computers). However, after setting this map using xkbcomp mapfile $DISPLAY, global keyboard shortcuts in KDE or Gnome stop working. For example, if Win-m is the shortcut for going to the next window, then, after xkbcomp, m letter moves and the Win-(new)m doesn't work anymore. The only way I found to make it work again is to set it to something different and then set it back to Win-m.
I therefore ask - is there any way to force KDE and Gnome to reload keyboard shortcuts? If not, how can I load my map before KDE or Gnome loads their shortcuts?
Thanks,
Jakub Marian
