Roughly speaking - what you want is impossible. The kernel knows about 13 types of key, and among these are KT_LATIN, KT_LETTER, KT_DEAD. Something cannot be both KT_LETTER and KT_DEAD.

[And then, on the other hand, little is really impossible with the Linux keyboard driver. You have 256 keymaps to play with, and can use capslock to select a new keymap and on that map use any assignments you like.] - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
