NAME¶
mk_modmap - translate a Linux keytable file into an xmodmap file
SYNOPSIS¶
mk_modmap [
-v ] keymap_file
DESCRIPTION¶
The
mk_modmap command tries to translate a Linux console keytable file
into a file that can be parsed by xmodmap, and used within X. It outputs the
results to standard out.
If the
-v flag is used, verbose output is given.
It requires the X header files to be installed. (In Debian, these are in the
"xlibs-dev" package).
NOTES¶
Since XFree version 2.1, X initialises its keymap using the Linux keymap, so
xmodmap will often be superfluous.
