As made, keyboards "know" nothing of markets or languages. They simply produce a key code, depending on the key pressed. It is the software that translates that key code into the appropriate character. My keyboards are made for U.S. English, but I have changed the layout to International English. So, somewhere, there is a mapping of key to character and the maps are easy to change. However, it would be nice to be able to change an individual key within that map. For example, I have occasionally used the Greek layout, to get some math symbols. One thing I've noticed is where it's supposed to produce the ohm symbol, as used in electronics, it instead produces the omega symbol, as used in math. I'd like to be able to change that. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
