There is no workaround for it as I see by now, so I am trying to get it work this way:I want to map Ctrl+W in Hebrew layout(which is actually a Ctrl+') to be a Ctrl+w. Here is what I got from xmodmap:Code:$ xmodmap -pke | grep 25keycode 25 = w W Cyrillic_tse Cyrillic_TSE apostrophe WAs you can see, there are pairs for each layout, each pair tells what happens without and with the Shift key pressed.

I planned to map AltGr + to '}' and AltGr + to '{'. However, nothing really changes. I have some other stuff in my .Xmodmap so I know that it gets loaded allright. Here's what I have so far:
keycode 35 = slash asciitilde dead_ogonek section dead_ogonek section
keycode 49 = asciicircum onehalf

I recently got a Logitech G11-keyboard for my Ubuntu 9.10 64-bit box. My question is xmodmap related and not restricted to this particular keyboard, nor to the distro I am using. The keyboard has a.o. 18 G-keys. These have been successfully defined in /usr/share/X11/XKeysymDB as per [URL] and I have a ~/.Xmodmap file that matches keycodes to the names in XKeysymDB.
My .Xmodmap definitions are rather simple, e.g. 'keycode 175 = G1'. So I do not define any value for modifier combinations, nor do I know how to do this.
And here's my real question. How should I define these keys so that the Crl-, Alt-, Meta-, Super- etc modifiers work with these keys?
With the current setup, the modifier versions of these keys do only work for the second keypress, e.g. the first Ctrl-G17 is perceived as a G17 keypress, and the second and remaining Ctrl-G17 presses are correctly received as a Ctrl-G17.
I would be happy to read an explanation of this behaviour, and even more so, about how to properly define them so that the base key as well as the modifier versions would be available.
If the odds are a million to one against something occurring, chances are 50-50 it will.
[URL] and go2 places!
I have a Mac keyboard where the Alt/Win (i.e. Option/Command) keys are inverted compared to a regular PC keyboard, and I'd like to swap them. I haven't had any luck with xmodmap so far. The standard configuration is as follows:
shift Shift_L (0x32), Shift_R (0x3e)
lock Caps_Lock (0x42)
control Control_L (0x25), Control_R (0x69)

I can not copy/paste ctrl+C or ctrl+p from one folder to another with the mouse. i was trying to move an item to another folder.
I looked in the keyboard short cut and it was not there. i tried to add it and it put it in custom as disabled and I could not enable it.
anyone has a clue why 'ctrl+a, k' nor 'ctrl+a, :kill' doesn't work for killing one of screen windows? Other screen's commands invoked with 'ctrl+a'seem to work.

After about one second, i can continue working as usual. Changing Tabs by just clicking on one does not freeze anything...Maybe some of you would think now if I am crazy because of complaining about such a little thing, but it is really annoying if you are used to work fluently with ff.Edit:I today noticed, that not only shortcuts in firefox, but all Hotkeys freeze my mouse for a second. For examle ctrl+c, ctrl+v, super+e or anything else.Do you have any Idea what causes this behaviour? Reinstalling ubuntu didn't change anything
View 4 Replies View RelatedI just spent a few days ripping out all the broken/buggy apps that are in the opensuse 11.2 official repos so I can finally get working software(openoffice, thunderbird, wine, eclipse, rubygems, rails, and a few others required getting the "official" versions from their respective websites to avoid strange behavior and outright broken functionality).
All of which makes updating more annoying and time-consuming. Why are opensuse packages so different anyway? Anyway, the last thing that I have noticed to fix is Konsole. For some really bizarre reason ctrl+z and ctrl+c do not work without a third keystroke: enter.Maybe this is something new with the KDE team, since they seem bent on making simple things that already work more complex, but given my experience with crappy packages in the suse repos, I am thinking this is the problem. I have looked over all the config settings that I can find and nothing fixes this affront to productivity.
I've been using Kaggregator in KDE-PIM, which uses Konqueror as the browserto go to links from Kaggregator.Unfortunately, Konqueror no longer seems tobe able to Copy highlighted material with Ctrl C, the way we've done it forever.Is this a setting I've missed? Or is this a new "feature" in Konqueror?

Here's what I've done so far, I've copied /etc/init.d/single for the structure, and tried to use dtach to provide a handle to access the process. However, my main problem is issuing the signals to kill the process (Ctrl-C) from a bash script and exit dtach (Ctrl-`)

I recently installed Debian 8.1 on an old (2008 maybe?) macbook. I would like to use the right hand side apple/command key as a right click. I've been using xmodmap commands in the terminal, but I'd like to write a shell script to do it automatically on boot or on login.
I've tried init.d, I've tried crontab, I've tried rc.local.
The xmodmap commands I am calling are Code: Select allxmodmap -e "keycode 134 = Pointer_Button3" and then Code: Select allxkbset m
my shell script is as follows
/usr/keymap
Code: Select all#!/bin/bash
xmodmap -e "keycode 134 = Pointer_Button3"
xkbset m
I've modified keymap to be executable, just typing /usr/keymap into the terminal will map the keys correctly. I've tried with and without the .sh suffix. I've tried adding sh before the file path in crontab. I've also tried adding sleep 20 inside the shell script as well as inside crontab joining the two commands with &&
To reeanable CTRL-ALT-BKSP (since 11.2), you use:
setxkbmap -option terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp
It works. However if you map keys with xmodmap, it's gone. In whatever order you use them, setxkbmap and xmodmap are always conflicting. Running xmodmap immediately disables CTRL-ALT-BKSP, while running setxbbmap reverses key mappings to their default.
I am using an Apple Keyboard (DK-layout) on my PC running Ubuntu 10.4. The problem: My key used to type <, > and is swapped with the key used to type and If I connect a standard PC-keyboard with DK-layout using USB, it works just fine. The problem exists both in the console and X. I solved the problem in the console by installing the console-keymaps package, made a copy of dk-latin1.kmap.gz and swapping keycode 86 with keycode 41 and loading the new keymap with the loadkeys command. I only need to figure out how to load the new keymap at boot time.
However, in X, I want to do exactly the same. I suppose I have to use Xmodmap. I simply can't figure out how to do it.
So I run "xmodmap" in my xinitrc to make caps lock a second control button, but for some reason its not sticking. I'm not using a desktop environment, just running xmonad.If I run "xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap" once X is started, it works fine, but it won't run in my xinitrc.

I have a custom .Xmodmap file to change the keyboard layout. The problem is that sometimes the keyboard layout changes back to the default. I have seen the lights on the keyboard blink at times, so I tried unplugging and reconnecting the keyboard and yes - that reset the layout. I can see keyboard removed/detected entries in the logs as well, so I guess my keyboard reconnects sometimes, I don't know why. However the solution from the post earlier (to rename the xmodmap file to ~/.Xmodmap) did not work. So is there another default filename I should use? Or do I have to enable xmodmap to run when a keyboard is plugged in somehow?
The only thing I can think of right now is to monitor /var/log/Xorg.0.log for "Adding input device USB Keyboard" and running xmodmap when that happens... but I'm really hoping for a better solution.If I can't fix the xmodmap problem, maybe I can fix the usb disconnects.I read something about power saving settings for usb. After some digging, I found that those settings are in /sys/bus/usb/devices/.../power/. However, disabling autosuspend for the hub did not seem to work (it was already disabled for the keyboard).
But I found something else in kern.log. Perhaps the keyboard disconnects has something to do with static electricity?

In previous versions of ubuntu I used to reshuffle the ALT, SHIFT, and TAB keys using xmodmap.
Specifically, I had a file called ~/.xmodmap-mejia which reshuffled the keyboard, and I called that file from the startup applications (I had added it to system>preferences>Startup Applications).
However, in Ubuntu 10.4 it does not work. If I call the script after the computer has loaded, it works perfectly, but it does not have any effect as a startup application. It is as though changes effected by the script that calls ~/.xmodmap-mejia gets overwritten later on by the default keyboard binding.
As things stand right now, I have to run the script manually every time I turn on my laptop. Which, of course, is very annoying.
Any ideas of how to fix this?
I just upgraded machine to natty, after which the xmodmap configuration remapping capslock stopped working (as in not doing anything at all). Running xmodmap manually (-e "clear Lock") doesn't have any visible effect either. I haven't tried doing this on another machine (I'm only close to one machine running ubuntu and reinstalling seems rather overkill), but the same config worked before the upgrade, and is working on another machine running arch.
Is anyone else having these issues and, if so, has anybody found a solution? The line of interest is, simply, "clear Lock".
Is it possible to make a key print a different character while a certain other key is pressed using xmodmap?

Then i run:

But nothing changes. Even if i manually configure the .Xmodmap file in my /home i see no change at all.
In Fedora 10 they decided to change to "evdev", so if you used xmodmap in F9, these mapping have changed in F10 and F11 for that matter. In order to find the new key values start
Code:
xev and press a button you would like to know the keycode for. Write this value down. When done, make a file ".xmodmap" and put in the values. "man xmodmap" explains the format. Not easy to understand! So here is how mine looks like.
Code:
clear Lock
keycode 112 = Caps_Lock
keycode 118 = Delete
keycode 119 = Home
[Code]...
This layout is MUCH more logical than the original. Now Delete is the key just to the right of the Backspace key. Back spaces deletes to the left, and Delete deletes to the right, so these keys shoudl of course be next to each other Page Up, Page Down, Home, and End now have the same structure as the arrow keys below. This layout makes it much easier to navigate without looking at the keys, because now the layout makes sense And why shouldn't 0 be to the left of 1? of course it should. 0 is lower than 1.
how to swap the CTRL and ALT keys in KDE? to me it seem like the ALT key is better positioned to be used more often for stuff like the CTRL-W close or the CTRL-S save. and there is no way to press CTRL without taking my fingers off of the home row.
View 1 Replies View Relatedok, I pressed alt-ctrl-f1 and it displayed my screen with a gui. I then pressed alt-ctrl-f2 and it displayed a textual desktop. I pressed alt-ctrl-f3 and it displayed the same thing. When I pressed alt-ctrl-f1 to return to my gui, it would not let me return to a gui. I was stuck in a cmd line textual desktop.
How, without restarting, do i return to a gui once I press alt-ctrl-f2??
I am using opensuse 11.2 on my dell studio 14 laptop and to my surprise the key combination for bringing up text based console does not function as expected.when I press ctrl+alt+ fn keys I am greeted with a blank screen and ctrl+alt+F7 brings me back to the GUI plasma desktop.Does this have to do something with the acpi=off thing I did for booting successfully into linux ( without this option, the screen would go off and not respond to anything ... physical restart was the only option). although my system starts off without any fuss, OS does not detect the battery of my laptop.
