Ive been trying to put together something for the new gnu apl that has just= been released. The author gives an xmodmap that works for apl but makes emacs close to unu= sable -- Alt-x becomes an Apl char. However all my attempts at wrapping my= head round xmodmap have failed so far. Can setxkbmap replace xmodmap? So far I found xkeycaps which seems to be such a replacement. When I use it= and try to save the map it segfaults :-(
