Disable shift-backspace logout in XGL and enable AltGr

It drove me mad that i logged always out from XGL after pressing accidentally shift-backspace.

You have to type:

xmodmap -e "keycode 22 = BackSpace BackSpace"

after your Window Manager started (that would be beryl in my case).

And because my AltGr key didn’t worked too i first looked at the keycode with xev which was 113.

Then a little lookup how the key is occupied:

xmodmap -pk

And finally to make the key work again:

xmodmap -e 'keycode 113 = Mode_switch'

And because i am a lazy person and dont want to type that over and over again to load it on startup i put both in my ~/.Xmodmap file:

echo 'keycode 22 = BackSpace BackSpace' >> ~/.Xmodmap
echo 'keycode 113 = Mode_switch' >> ~/.Xmodmap
