Solved Helping set compose key on XFCE

[freezr]

Hi guys,

I had to do some changes on the host and moved from SharpKey to PowerToy to remap the keyboard.

Before the changes I remapped on the host keyboard the right-menu keyboard as win-right I used this command to enable the compose key on the guest:

setxkbmap -option compose:rmenu

This command does not work with the current setting on the host.

If I test the key on XFCE this is showed up as: MenuKB

on xev

KeymapNotify event, serial 36, synthetic NO, window 0x0,
    keys:  2   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0  
           0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0   0

At this point I don't know how to translate this MenuKB/key 2 on a command that is meaningful for setxkbmap

Of course:

setxkbmap -option compose:MenuKB

Does not work!

What should I do instead? Thanks!

I gave up, not sure what happened to the host that win key is not recognized anymore, simply I solved using "right alt", I spent days to solve anything wasting precious time...
