Hi all, I am wondering if you could help me with this problem... Here it is: in my home directory I have2 .xmodmap files that I've built with xkeycaps. The first one is ~/.xmodmap-personnal, which is my basic keyboard layout, based on the US-English layout + some special features to get Spanish and German characters. This layout is loaded in my ~/.cshrc. The second one is ~/.xmodmap-cf, which is exactly the same as the first one, except that it's based on the French Canadian keyboard layout, with all the special features.... Now I've been working on computers for 10 years now, and always used a US keyboard and LaTeX for word processing. But recently, and for the next 2 months, I had to use Star Office for some reasons, and Excel too, and I need the French Canadian layout. Right, I just got to load the .xmodmap-cf to get it working. I've created a little CShell script, to load xmodmap-cf, start Star Office and then reload the former one when exiting Office. #!/bin/csh xmodmap ~/.xmodmap-cf; /home/MYUSER/Office51/bin/soffice; xmodmap ~/.xmodmap-personnal By doing this, the French Canadian layout is "system-wide" effective, in every other shells and xterms already opened. That's the tricky part of the whole story that I don't like. I simply can't use this layout to work in other xterms. I need my English keyboard! I'm too confused... Is there any way to prevent the script to load xmodmap-cf for all the system? Any help would be really appreciated... ________________ Nicolas Beaulieu Economics Department, Universite Laval Centre de Recherches en Economie et Finances Appliquees (CREFA) Quebec, Canada 418-626-5033 _________________ http://www.penguinpowered.com/~montesquieu mailto:montesquieu@penguinpowered.com ICQ 15933500 ---> http://www.ccfa.org <--- ---> http://www.ccfc.ca <--- _________________ Le Renard: "Voici mon secret.
