There are some window managers (e.g. the one of KDE) that support per-window keyboard mapping. Or rather: with XKB, you have up to 4 groups, and switching between them is relatively cheap. Thus this supports switching groups between windows. I suppose you can map querty for one groups and dvorak for another. Not exactly sure how. -- Tzafrir Cohen | tzaf...@jabber.org | VIM is http://tzafrir.org.il | | a Mutt's tzaf...@cohens.org.il | | best ICQ# 16849754 | | friend -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
