A slightly modified layout#23

Can you add as a variant to the layout? See the |

Sure. I have moved it into the |

| name[Group1] = "English (3l alternative)"; | ||
|

| key.type[Group1] = "ONE_LEVEL"; |

Can you include 3l(basic) instead and drop the repeated base layout? Or is there a specific reason for not including the Greek and extended symbols?

Well, this is my first foray into working with xkb, so I wanted something I can easily grok. The EIGHT_LEVEL_SEMIALPHABETIC key type looked a bit overwhelming on the first go-round.

Yeah, xkb is a little bit cryptic. If you can get it working with the include, it'll be easier to send a patch to xkeyboard-config.

Is there a better name than "alt" we can use?

I think the two main characteristics of this layout are that it uses Shift keys as Sym modifiers, and moves Cur modifier to CapsLock. So maybe "shift_as_sym" for the name?

Sounds good, but lets use hyphens instead of underscores. ;)
