Xmodmap and multiple layouts
I am currently using two keyboard layouts with xorg.conf as
Section "InputClass"
Identifier "Keyboard Defaults"
MatchIsKeyboard "yes"
Option "XkbLayout" "us, de"
Option "XkbOptions" "grp:caps_toggle"
EndSection
Now I want to map AltGr to use it as a context menu key. This can be done with
xmodmap -e "keycode 108 = Menu"
but only changes the key on the first layout. How can I change it across all layouts? Could something be done using XkbOption or XkbLayout advanced options?

echo -e "setxkbmap de\nxmodmap ~/.Xmodmap.DE" > ~/key-de && chmod +x ~/key-de
echo -e "setxkbmap us\nxmodmap ~/.Xmodmap.US" > ~/key-us && chmod +x ~/key-us
xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap.DE
xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap.US
Now just edit ~ / .Xmodmap * however you like and attach shortcuts to the ~ / key-de and ~ / key-us scripts.
