	Simple article for posterity or future-me. I will share here my tweaks
	to make the IBook G4 laptop (apple keyboard) suitable for OpenBSD ,
	this should work for Linux too as long as you run X.

	## Command should be alt+gr

	I really need the alt+gr key which is not there on the keyboard, I
	solved this by using this line in my `~/.xsession`.

	xmodmap -e "keycode 115 = ISO_Level3_Shift"


	## i3 and mod4

	As the touchpad is incredibely bad by nowadays standards (and it only
	has 1 button and no scrolling feature!), I am using a window manager
	that could be entirely keyboard driven, while I'm not familiar with
	tiling window manager, i3 was easy to understand and light
	enough. Long time readers may remember I am familiar with stumpwm but
	it's not really a dynamic tiling window manager, I can only tolerate
	i3 using the tabs mode.

	But an issue arise, there are no "super" key on the keyboard, and
	using "alt" would collide with way too many programs. One solution is
	to use "caps lock" as a "super" key.

	I added this in my `~/.xsession` file:

	xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap

	with `~/.Xmodmap` having the following instructions:

	clear Lock
	keycode 66 = Hyper_L
	add mod4 = Hyper_L
	clear Lock

	This will disable to "toggling" effect of caps lock, and will turn it
	into a "Super" key that will be refered as mod4 for i3.
