Map `AltGr + [' to `å'
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I'm on a Norwegian keyboard and use setxkbmap us to code. Sometimes I communicate in Norwegian. This requires me to setxkbmap no. That is rather annoying. I would like to remap the AltGr with another key to output the å character.
I've run xev and å has the byte code c3a5 on key symbol 34, with the name 'aring'. I have remapped it in a keydef file as:
keycode 34 = bracketleft braceleft aring Aring
Then I ran xmodmap ~/keydef. For some reason whenever I press AltGr and ], nothing shows up. What am I doing wrong?

Map AltGr + [ to 'å'<=!=>whenever I press AltGr and ], nothing shows- isn't this a bit confused? This looks like Linux, but which distro are you running? For Ubuntu: check theText entrysettings in the System Settings - switching keybord setttings should be one way to achieve what you're after.

@Hannu: I'm on mint 17. Also I mean for the code point to be inserted instead of actually remapping, upon pressingAltGr + [.

Perhaps you don't have AltGr and Mode_switch on the same modifier, see the output of
xmodmap -pm
However, you might like to read this very useful archlinux page on keyboard configuration. They suggest you would be better off doing, eg:
localectl --no-convert set-x11-keymap us,no pc104 grp:caps_toggle
which creates a permanent setup which shifts between the 2 mappings us and no by pressing the caps lock key. Lots of other toggle keys are available. List them with:
grep "grp:.*toggle" /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst
The temporary setxkbmap equivalent is probably (not tested)
setxkbmap us,no pc104 '' grp:caps_toggle
but for those who dont read the comments, this is what finally worked for OP:
setxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us,no -option grp:alt_shift_toggle

Your answer did not work at all for some reason. I tried with other combinations to no avail. What worked was the followingsetxkbmap -model pc104 -layout us,no -option grp:alt_shift_toggle. That is the answer. As a tangent: why don't tools consistently use -- for multi-character arguments?gccandfindalso torture us with it.
