I have a NEC Versa P520 Laptop on which I have SuSE Linux 9.3 Pro running with the KDE system. However, it has this backslash (shift: bar) sitting next to my left shift and z (shift: Z). Since I have to use a lot of backslashes (in LaTeX for example), I NEED this key. I have found out, that this is keycode 86. Does anybody know what I have to do in order to make this key right, because now it gives me < and >, which I already have. It is a US keyboard with that additional key.
I don't know about KDE specific mechanisms but can tell you about the "traditional" ones ;-) When using xmodmap, you can use (on a konsole) e.g. xmodmap -e 'keycode 86 = backslash' Or you add "keycode 86 = backslash" to ~/.Xmodmap and execute xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap BTW, ~/.Xmodmap should be evaluated automatically when a graphical session is started. But I think KDE overwrites it with its own settings (add the xrdb call to an autostart script). Also when you switch your keyboard layout with the corresponding panel applet, your ~/.Xmodmap changes are lost. To see your current settings (and more examples) use xmodmap -pke HTH, Ingo -- Ingo Strauch ---- Registered Linux User #227900 (http://counter.li.org/) GPG Key Fingerprint = DEC8 1B12 9573 6BE7 7A99 C33F 809C 8C2C 772E 66A1 http://www.the-one-brack.org/
