Keyboard layout under S.u.S.E. Linux and XFree86

The keyboard layout under S.u.S.E. Linux has the following extensions in opposition to a "bare" XFree86 system:

• The right Ctrl key is defined as multikey. With it, every single sign with a tilde can be produced (e.g. in Emacs).
  Example:
  Pressing one after the other "Ctrl", "~" and "n" produces the sign "ñ". For every other diacritical sign is proceeded analogous.

• The right and left Windows keys are set as Mod4 on a Microsoft compatible keyboard and can be used under the S.u.S.E. standard fvwm configuration along with the Tab key to change from one desktop window into another one (analogue to MS Windows Alt-Tab).

• The Start key is set as Mod5 on a Microsoft compatible keyboard and can be used under the S.u.S.E. standard fvwm configuration along with the right Shift key to pop up the window menus (sequence Start key, stop, then right Shift key.
