I am using a swiss apple keyboard at the moment. This keyboard requires some unreasonable finger acrobatics to type a backslash (shift+right alt+7). I'd like to bind the backslash to another key combination, specifically shift+4, which right now produces a "ç" which I never need.
Has anybody done something like that? I don't have any idea how to do that and I have not found any help yet.
I guess my first thing, is that my shift-3 gives me a British pound symbol, and my backslash gives me a hash... I chose us keyboard map.... the only way I have found to correct this is to setxkbmap us and I have to do this every time my computer resets. This is annoying, as my wifi wpa2 pw includes a #...
On my computer I have two USB keyboards plugged in. Instead of having both just type the same key, is it possible for a second keyboard to be setup to run commands instead of typing letters? And If that's not possible, can it be setup to at least type in another language like Russian for example?
Hi,
I am new to linux. I just installed linux on my laptop and whenever I tried to type a backslash key, '>' appears instead. I once came across a post that guided me to write a shell script using xmodmap -e "keycode 94 = backslash bar". However, I am unable to make that script to run automatically when I start the OS. Can anyone please guide me how to do so? Thanks lot.
I have Ubuntu installed on an Imac. I have a spanish keyboard and the the keys "<" and "º" are inverted. I can solve this issue with the following command:
xmodmap -e 'keycode 94=masculine ordfeminine backslash brokenbar backslash brokenbar' -e 'keycode 49=less greater'
I have put this command in /etc/init.d/rc.local and in the xfce startup application utility.
I recently acquired a new computer that has no OS on it. I decided to load Ubuntu on it. It does not have the traditional port in the back for a keyboard, and I don't have a USB keyboard. What type should I get, are there any requirements for the keyboard pre-installation?
Thanks
Hello,
Some people have already related this problem when Karmic was still under test. I am with up-to-date Karmic here and still have this problem:

So just the other day, I got a spanking new Logitech Mediaboard Pro that uses bluetooth. So I slapped in a bluetooth dongle on my PC and tried to get it working. Afterwards, things start to look bleak.
I replaced the USB keyboard (105 keys) that I was using with a compact 86-key Sejin PS/2 keyboard. The PC BIOS has no problem with the Sejin, but Ubuntu assumes that I still have a 105-key keyboard attached and I can't log in (some keys produce no characters).
