Map a key sequence to type a character

[RonSMeyer]

I want to map a key sequence to type a character. xmodmap says ";" and ":" are keycode-47. I want to map keycode-47 so that it still types ";" and Shift-keycode47 types ":", but additionally Alt-L+keycode47 types the character "ö" and Cntl-L+keycode47 types the character "Ö". The concept seems simple, "Alt-L+this-key types this-value". How do you do that?

with macros: m(Shift_L, h(comma)) writes ; on my computer.

Depending on what 47 is on your keyboard, for me it's ,

[sezanzeb]

you just insert the macro code as a mapping as shown in the screenshot: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sezanzeb/key-mapper/main/readme/screenshot.png

Trying a third time. With the key sequence "Alt_L + semicolon" I want it to type the character ö . It says unknown key.

[sezanzeb]

what about m(Shift_L, h(comma)) instead of k(ö) as mentioned in my first comment?

[RonSMeyer]

Now that's not going to type the "ö" character on the screen, is it. Never mind. You don't get it. This software is not going to work. Forget it.

Thanks for the somewhat-rude answer. I happen to have a full-time job, am busy with moving to a new place and still try to take the time to solve your issues with it timely.

I thought that 'ö' is already available in your xmodmap and that you try to map the combination of that key to your keyboard as a single key-press. Sorry for that, I guess it's not present in your xmodmap.

additionally Alt-L+keycode47 types the character "ö"

I understood that as a description of the givens instead of a description of what you desire to do.
