Heh. Even if it was an expensive third-party "solution", it would be way cool. You could talk about your "keyboard font", download custom graphics to the keys, upcase all the letters when you held down "shift", etc. etc. It would make the fn-keypad "mapping" far easier to work with as well. > I also want a /etc/keyboard/kbd[.appname] file, easily overridable > by ~/config/.kbd[.appname] file with my favorite mappings. Not so sure I see the need for a per-application mapping, but having /proc/keyboard/map that you could cp ~/.kbd.appname on to might be a useful thing to have... -Stewart "Perhaps tweakable by PID?"
