Since the colemak.kmap has the + key, I decided to look at the file and using nano I finagled what I wanted onto it. I moved the O key to be to the right of the y key, set up a fn number pad just like the qwerty, and mapped ; to red arrow+ J. I did this by typing the desired key mapping in the corresponding column for each keycode. Fn turned out to be the 5th column as I recall, so putting a mapping like "one" there would make fn+ that key print that. I did not learn keycodes but rather looked at what keys functioned as they should under the Colemak layout and put what I wanted on top of those. It has been delightful fun and I hope learn more, but now I have the symbols I need without sacrificing the numberpad and while ditching qwerty. Do you think it will be OK to put 'loadkeys colemak.kmap' in my /etc/fstab, or is that not for this kind of thing?
I was bad at grep, so I did it my way for now...;) ----- Original Message ----- From: [email protected] Sent: 03/02/12 12:39 AM To: English Qi Hardware mailing list - support, developers, use cases and fun Subject: Re: Case of the missing + key Maybe grep the dumpkeys output for that key before and after you change to colemak. There should be something that catches the eye in there. On Thu, Mar 01, 2012 at 07:16:04PM -0500, Jane Andreas wrote: > Well I have tried loadkeys =, which does not work.
