Key mapping in X.org
I'm trying to set up a keybinding in X. I would like Right Shift + Enter to be treated the same way that Enter is when pressed alone. Right now pressing Right Shift + Enter doesn't appear to do anything at all. I've read through the xset and stty man pages and didn't spot what I need. A nudge in the right direction would be most appreciated. -- Thanks, Josh Paetzel ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I've read through the xset and stty man pages and didn't spot what I need. stty is the wrong program. It doesn't handle remapping. kbdcontrol(1) does, but that's for virtual terminals, not X. A nudge in the right direction would be most appreciated. The program you ar looking for is: xkeycaps For a snapshot see: http://jeremino.homeunix.net/snapshot.jpg Heh. Nice program. But there are a number of reasons why it's not the one Josh is looking for: 1. It doesn't seem to understand X.org (at least not the version I just installed from the ports collection in /usr/ports/x11/xkeycaps). I get the message: A keyboard type was not specified, and the vendor ID string, The X.Org Foundation is not recognized. 2. The real program is xmodmap(1). xkeycaps is just a front end to it, and that's what you need to run when you start X. For example, in my .xinitrc I have: xmodmap -e 'keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Meta_L' xmodmap -e 'keysym Home = Select Select' xmodmap -e 'remove mod5 = Scroll_Lock' You can also put the translations in a file and get xmodmap to read it.

The programs works fine, I just programmed control-return into a + sign. ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
