Hi, folks -- Under BasicLinux I've recently installed the joe editor for its jstar capabilities (which mimic WordStar). The actual DOS WordStar editor added a small binary to switch your Caps Lock and left Ctrl keys to make it easier to manipulate the WordStar navigation and command key combinations with the left small finger. (The older computer keyboards didn't have two Ctrl keys -- there was a Ctrl key just to the left of the "a" key that made Ctrl key combinations easy.) Under Linux, however, one must deal with key assignments under various shells and other programs that often change for each of these applications. I have not found in the joerc configuration file (or anywhere else, yet) where you can alter the Caps Lock/left Ctrl key assignments to accommodate an easier usage of joe/jstar.
Has anyone else on the list encountered this need and found a working solution for the Linux console? I found a solution through a Google search for joe that works under X, but I'm not using X on this machine. Thank you for any help! ---------------------------------------------------------- Jerry... on a 486 DX2-50MHz with 8MB RAM in BasicLinux 1.7 - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-newbie" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.linux-learn.org/faqs
