Does one see what I am doing wrong?



setxkbmap -option ö:return


man xkbmap nor skimming through /usr/share/X11/xkb/ gave me any hint, While e.g. setxkbmap -option caps:escape works

          setxkbmap -option is not a generic "map this to that" mechanism.



          It allows you to enable any number of pre-defined options that exist in your current X11 keyboard layout. Normally, a layout might have several options for the assignment of modifier keys like CapsLock, Control or AltGr, since many touch-typists prefer assigning something more useful like Control or Escape in place of CapsLock. But for a generic character like ö, pre-defined options are unlikely.
