Hello everybody,
i bought a cheap Thinkpad T60 and installed Trisquel on it. Some things don't
work but I don't mind.
The one thing which bothers me is that the notebook has a US keyboard with a
long "shift" key.
On a german keyboard, the shift key is only twice as long and instead there
is an additional key, containing "" and "|", and since this key is missing
here I'm not able to type any of those characters as long as I use a german
keyboard layout (which is a real problem if you want to write code or use the
bash).
I don't use any GUI but instead the awesome window manager, so solutions that
don't include preference-tools of some DE are prefered.
I already opened /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/de
and replaced "acute" with "lesserthanequal" and "grave" with
"greaterthanequal" since I don't need neither of those keys, but first of
all, those are not the names for < and > (how are they actually called?) and
second, it didn't work!
Even after reboot I still get ยด and ` instead of < and >.
Does anybody know more about this topic? It's very tedious and time consuming
digging in those config files.
