I looked at the patch and it looks like a good start. Basicly the same I did in Win32, except I could use Win32 system keyboard translation. I still hope that we can find a compleate X11key-->Unicode translation. Some one must have done it before.
One thing about the keybindings. If you could include in the patch a default for 'insertData'. I can't find any good reason to have the table filled with:
{0x455, /* */ { "insertData", "", "", "" }},
{0x456, /* I UKR/BYEL */ { "insertData", "", "", "" }},
{0x457, /* YI UKR */ { "insertData", "", "", "" }},
{0x458, /* */ { "insertData", "", "", "" }},
{0x459, /* */ { "insertData", "", "", "" }},
just to add the character to the document. This should be the deafult behavior. Maybe we need to add undefined characters to the list to avoid them to be inserted.
