All in all this truly is a mess. Disabling a key should be dead-simple. I'm guessing it is issues such as this one that the wayland/mir people are trying to solve?
Here's my config that I can explain :) modifier_map entries affect only applications using the core (old protocol), that includes Xmonad. key entries affect the whole configuration and allow for easy remapping. Probably all you need to disable numlock is modifier_map none { <NMLK> }; // use right alt exclusively for alt, left alt for meta // map to *_L keys because xvkbd can emulate only left modifiers partial modifier_keys xkb_symbols "ralt_as_mod3" { key <RALT> { [ Alt_L, Alt_L ] }; modifier_map Mod3 { Alt_L }; key <LALT> { [ Meta_L, Meta_L ] }; }; // Switch left control and left shift for healthier Emacsing xkb_symbols "switch_lctl_lfsh" { key <LCTL> { [ Shift_L, Shift_L ] }; key <LFSH> { [ Control_L, Control_L ] }; }; // This is needed to workaround a bug in xvkbd to make // it use Mode_Switch for AltGr (to choose 2nd group) partial modifier_keys xkb_symbols "remove_lvl3_from_mod5" { modifier_map none { <LVL3> }; }; -- Be free, use free (http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/free-sw.html) software! mailto:fercerpav@gmail.com
