http://askubuntu.com – Im trying to find how to something like : Control+z="<" Control+x=">" Is this possible? my keyboard doesnt have the ISO missing key that in Portuguese matches the <> key. the keycode for <> key is 94, being that without shift is <(less) and with shift pressed is >(greater) the keycode for control left is 37, Control_L the keycode for z is 52 and for x is 53. How can i do this using xmodmap: xmodmap -e "keycode 37 + keycode 52 = less" xmodmap -e "keycode 37 + keycode 53 = greater" (HowTos)

Using statler with eee PC.

Hi,I don't use fluxbox and I don't know if it determines something.But you can use xmodmap to remap keys and combinations.With xev you can press the keys and know the keycode to use for xmodmapE.g.xmodmap -e 'keycode 56 = Control_L' xmodmap -e 'keycode 64 = AudioUp'

When I program I like to swap these keys:

Esc <-> Tab

Ctrl <-> Caps Lock

In ~/.xmodmap, I have specified these re-mappings:

keycode 66 = Control_L

keycode 37 = Caps_Lock

keycode 23 = Escape

keycode 9 = Tab

The Escape and Tab keys swaps, no problem, but instead of Caps_Lock and Control_L swapping, both those keys becomes Caps_Lock.

Hi there,

In which rc.keymap like file in openSuse I put this:

keycode 86 = backslash shift keycode 86 = bar

Need to have the | also in the console on my nec versa p520. I got it working with X by putting: keycode 94 = backslash bar in ~/.Xmodmap

I'm trying to remap my right alt to behave like my right ctrl so I can use my right thumb to press the ctrl button.

I didn't find this information anywhere else, so here it is.

`xmodmap -pke' results in lines like this:

Using xmodmap I want to redefine my keyboard to access umlauted characters and cedillas more easily. I copy the following content to a file myxmodmap, then I select

setxkbmap us xmodmap myxmodmap

and it does not work.

Then I selected

setxkbmap us_intl xmodmap myxmodmap

I just installed Fedora 11 on my PC and can't seem to get the Win key to work at all :( I tried putting entries in xmodmap, tried modifying xorg.conf, and also tried setting altwin:super_win in the config settings. But nothing seems to work. Somehow, my Win key seems to be working as Meta instead of Super. From emacs, if I press Win+x, it works like Meta+x.
