Let me translate:
 - m .|. is modifier of keys 
 - k is keysym (?)
 - windows is a function that activate some window
 - f is activation mode (?)
 - i is window number extracted from gnome

The given setting does not work. On my keyboard, 1 is over '&', so maybe I could
try xK_K_AMP (or something similar) ?

Hmmm. I am getting a bit old for a kid, given I have kids myself. And actually,
all french, belgian, swiss, french canadian and quite a bunch of african
countries keyboards have such a layout, which makes for approximatively a couple
hundred million people ;-)


Best regards and thanks again for helping,
