  • As far as I understand those selectors work, using shift as the level 3 modifier is a bad idea since …

    level combination
    1 key
    2 SHIFT + key
    3 L3 + key
    4 SHIFT + L3 + key
    5 L5 + key
    6 L5 + SHIFT + key

    I suppose customizing the keyboard layout such that SHIFT can be used as L3 modifier can be done. Otherwise, you might want to refer to /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/evdev.lst.

    Here’s the relevant part(s):

    option group:option description
    lv2 Key to choose the 2nd level
    lv2:lsgt_switch The “< >” key
    lv3 Key to choose the 3rd level
    lv3:switch Right Ctrl
    lv3:menu_switch Menu
    lv3:win_switch Any Win
    lv3:lwin_switch Left Win
    lv3:rwin_switch Right Win
    lv3:alt_switch Any Alt
    lv3:lalt_switch Left Alt
    lv3:ralt_switch Right Alt
    lv3:ralt_switch_multikey Right Alt; Shift+Right Alt as Compose
    lv3:ralt_alt Right Alt never chooses 3rd level
    lv3:enter_switch Enter on keypad
    lv3:caps_switch Caps Lock
    lv3:caps_switch_capslock_with_ctrl Caps Lock; Ctrl+Caps Lock for original Caps Lock action
    lv3:bksl_switch Backslash
    lv3:lsgt_switch The “< >” key
    lv3:caps_switch_latch Caps Lock; acts as onetime lock when pressed together with another 3rd-level chooser
    lv3:bksl_switch_latch Backslash; acts as onetime lock when pressed together with another 3rd level chooser
    lv3:lsgt_switch_latch The “< >” key; acts as onetime lock when pressed together with another 3rd level chooser
    lv5 Key to choose the 5th level
    lv5:caps_switch Caps Lock chooses 5th level
    lv5:lsgt_switch The “< >” key chooses 5th level
    lv5:ralt_switch Right Alt chooses 5th level
    lv5:menu_switch Menu chooses 5th level
    lv5:rctrl_switch Right Ctrl chooses 5th level
    lv5:lsgt_switch_lock The “< >” key chooses 5th level and acts as a one-time lock if pressed with another 5th level chooser
    lv5:ralt_switch_lock Right Alt chooses 5th level and acts as a one-time lock if pressed with another 5th level chooser
    lv5:lwin_switch_lock Left Win chooses 5th level and acts as a one-time lock if pressed with another 5th level chooser
    lv5:rwin_switch_lock Right Win chooses 5th level and acts as a one-time lock if pressed with another 5th level chooser
