There is no standard user mechanism to change the keymap. There is a GNU Mach call to change the keymap, and there are some example programs in the mailing list archive and in my archive of the GNU hurd related lists. I am happy to send the information to a developer who is willing to write a fancy user program similar to loadkeys or port loadkeys to the Hurd. It would be best to take a look at the linux console-* packages and to use their data files. If nobody volunteers, the information will end on the web page someday, but I have not yet extracted it from the lists (that's why I would only send it now if someone really wants to write, otherwise I will postpone this). Any volunteers? To the Hurd developers: Should this become an external program or part of the Hurd utils? Thanks, Marcus -- `Rhubarb is no Egyptian god.'
