This looks promising. If you could be a little less terse, perhaps we could get somewhere. How would you, for instance, cause the keyboard combination ALT + (numkeys) 1 3 2 to produce a lower-case a with an umlaut on it? (ä) This is written from Windows, of course, where this works flawlessly, and has since at least DOS 3.1. It would be ideal if the commands in DOS and Linux were identical. Can you write a script to automagically do this? (There are a ton of other characters, including all the accented characters in most European languages, the plus-minus sign, the degree sign, some Greek characters used in engineering and math, and whatever.) --doug /snip/
xmodmap -pm <--- prints the modifier-map
Read /usr/X11R6/include/X11/keysymdef.h for information on the symbol names of characters.
Creating an xmodmap is simple.
$ cat >somefile >>EOF keycode 26 = e E EuroSign cent EOF $ xmodmap somefile
And setting modifiers likewise...
$ cat >somefile <
After that last one, "a" and "l" should be shift instead of the shift buttons :o)
