[XeTeX] OT: Ukelele. Key bindings trouble

[Bernd]

I modified my keyboard only because I know that I don't use most of the 
keys anyway that are stored there on a regular keyboard. For those who 
want to take a look at my "new" layout, here's a link:

Personally I find it a pain to use the dead key combinations, because I 
keep forgetting where the proper dead key is located.
