Customized keyboard layout ignores AltGr key [14.04]












2















For some reason I want to change my Russian layout so that I put stress mark (U+0301, like hére) by pressing AltGr+Yo, in a pretty similar way to other languages' layouts.



So there I go, making a subtle modification in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ru:



//  key <TLDE> {    [     Cyrillic_io,     Cyrillic_IO  ]   }; default
key <TLDE> { [ Cyrillic_io, Cyrillic_IO, U0301 ] }; // stress mark added over Yo


Rebooting the computer, doesn't work. System still sees no difference between Alt and AltGr. Then, observing other layouts, I came up with further edit:



key.type[group1]="FOUR_LEVEL";

include "level3(ralt_switch)" // for the sake of having AltGr+Yo as stress mark


No success either, behavior is exactly the same. Do you have any idea how to make system recognize between Alt and AltGr (or the problem is somewhere else, though I doubt it)?
