I have been looking over the /user/share/X11/xkb/share/us file and have a few questions.

 

For the USA - ClassmatePC (International) layout the creator used the RCtrl key since the keyboard he was using didn�t have an AltGr key. However all he did was enter �include "level3(switch)"� in place of �include "level3(ralt_switch)"�. How does the system know to use RCtrl when all it says is �switch�?

 

I also prefer not using AltGr since my keyboard has no AltGr key and I would rather have the flexibility to use either Alt key by substituting Ctrl+Alt for the RAlt/AltGr key. Does leaving out �include "level3(ralt_switch)"� do this?

 

When I*used Microsoft Keyboard Layout Creator, it allowed me to use six levels by including Ctrl and Ctrl+Shft. From what I could see, there was two more levels I could have used theoretically by adding Alt and Alt+Shft to the Shift State and the two corresponding columns in the text file manually. Can X11 do this or am I*limited to a maximum of five levels?
