With the following ~/.Xmodmap as my keyboard layout…
http://www.mirbsd.org/cvs.cgi/contrib/samples/dot.Xmodmap?rev=1.24.4.15;content-type=text%2Fplain;only_with_tag=grml
… on a PC/Thinkpad keyboard, observe that, compared to
standard US layout, the key labelled “Alt” is in fact
Mode_switch (like AltGr), and that the Windows key is
mapped to Alt_L.

In most applications… almost all, even… this works correctly.
For example, key shortcuts with Ctrl-Alt-… (evilwm, IceWM) or
just Alt-… (MuseScore/Qt) work by using the left Windows key
as Alt key and when typing e.g. Mode_switch-ä I get ä etc.

However, in soffice, this doesn’t work correctly.

Mode_switch-d gives ä, correct, but these for example don’t work:

• Mode_switch-Tab (supposed to give “) moves the cursor
• Mode_switch-Return (supposedly •) does nothing
• Mode_switch-F12 (supposedly ‑) changes the current
  paragraph to a numeric list‽

According to what I could found, Alt-F12 is supposed to show
the options dialogue, and, using the proper key (i.e. the one
with the Windows logo, remapped to Alt) does, but to change to
a numeric list is just F12 (which also works), not Mode_switch-F12.

This is seriously impeding my ability to type basically anything
in soffice because I need „“ (German), “” (English), •–‐‑ for
typographic correctness. Using Tₑχ/LᴬTᴇΧ instead isn’t always an
option (e.g. for $dayjob, where WYSIWYG formats are needed for
some documents).

Good day

I am writing to bring to your attention a matter of great importance regarding an account that is linked to you. The funds in the account have remained unclaimed for an extended period, and due to prolonged dormancy, it is now at risk of being foreclosed and reverted to the government.

It is crucial that appropriate action is taken promptly to prevent the loss of this account. I strongly urge you to contact me at your earliest convenience to discuss the details and explore the necessary steps to secure your claim.

Please consider this matter as time-sensitive, and feel free to reach out to me via email for further clarification or assistance.

I look forward to your response and am committed to guiding you through the process.

Yours sincerely,


Vincent Alaire
