I have added Quotation Marks to my keyboard. Before you copy this, back up any
files you alter, just in case. Also save the amended files in your /home
directory as updating xorg will ?repair? your work!
The solution is easy: amend this file:
/etc/X11/xkb/symbols/pc/latin
This is the ?fallback? file used to allocate symbols to your keypresses,
basically your language file (gb in my case) is just the amendments to this
file.
If your language file does not put its own keys on the RightAlt-v and b keys,
you will find the 66 and 99 quotes there already, However the
Shift-RightAlt-v and b keys just duplicate the grave and apostrophe keys so I
changed them. Here are the lines as they appear in my latin file:
key <AB04> { [ v, V, leftdoublequotemark, leftsinglequotemark ] };
key <AB05> { [ b, B, rightdoublequotemark, rightsinglequotemark ] };
If you do not know what a symbol name is, it doesn't matter. Find the Unicode
number in Hex, and add 0x100 to the front of it. For example, an emdash in
Unicode is 2014Hex, so you put it in the table as 0x1002014.
One of the problems of having ?smart quotes? built in is that, in British
imperial measurements, " means inch and ' means foot. And I am 5'11" tall!
