Country letters through Fn key?

[Gregersdk]

I am Danish and therefore need the letters å, æ, ø on the English Uconsole keyboard. I checked with xevand I’m lucky enough that fn+a, fn+e, fn+o are seemingly free. However, I have never messed with keymapping before, anyone with good recommendations?

Should i know the hex values of m letters, or how would I else define them? The keymapping is not recognized in xev, but I guess it’s just because it’s not made yet?

Thanks,

xev/wev register hardware codes. you can to add them via modifying keyboard firmware

another way is software via XKB:

you can sacrifice right alt (may be you can even use fn) by modifying your keyboard XKB layout

there is an example for czech language: xkb-czech-coder-phonetic/.config/xkb/symbols/cz at main · potoo-cz/xkb-czech-coder-phonetic · GitHub
