Xmodmap (Linux)

Xmodmap deployment on GNU/Linux :  see the folders 'linux-xmodmap' and 'linux-xcompose' in this repository (or latest release).

Follow these steps for loading the xmodmap :

• Put the file ".Xmodmap" into the user's home directory (~).
• Additionally, put the file ".XCompose" into the user's home directory (~) to apply all customized Compose Key sequences for UltimateKEYS.
• On, for instance, EndeavourOS XFCE and Kubuntu, "~/.Xmodmap" should automatically load when logging in, on some other distributions, it can be activated via :
  xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap    - or -    xmodmap $HOME/.Xmodmap
• Unfortunately, it turns out that Xmodmap is no longer supported on GNOME.

Important - Known limitations of AutoHotkey, Windows and Linux

Win/Linux :  When changing the Windows/Microsoft Live/Linux password, using another keyboard layout can INTERFERE in some cases where your keystrokes are either registered via the other layout or as standard US QWERTY.

Win (AHK) :  On the login screen, the layout script will NOT be loaded, which can result in the WRONG input !
Linux :  On the login screen, the layout might NOT be available, which can result in the WRONG input !

=> Win/Linux :  Only use "BASIC LATIN" characters (codes 32 to 126) for your Windows, Microsoft Live and Linux passwords !
Otherwise, it might be impossible to type any Unicode character higher than "Basic Latin" at the login screen/prompt (due to a different keyboard configuration) !  =>  ACCOUNT LOCKOUT
=> Win/Linux :  To be "better safe than sorry", ALWAYS make your system passwords VISIBLE during modification !
