Ubuntu :: Software To Remap Keys?

Jun 2, 2011

I was wondering if there was any native software like Autohotkey, GlovePIE, etc for Ubuntu that allows you to remap keys / make macros?

Windows has a ton of stuff like this. My first few searches though for Ubuntu software like that has turned up nothing.

General :: F3 - F5 Keys Incorrectly Behaving As Audio Keys / Remap Them To Original Meaning?

Apr 17, 2010

I don't know if this is a configuration issue or a hardware issue, but I have a Kinesis Advantage USB keyboard and for some reason the F3-F5 keys aren't responding as they used to. They don't respond to anything and, when I tried using F5 on Emacs, it said <XF86AudioNext> is undefined, so I guess it's a weird mapping problem.

Any idea how I could remap them to the original meaning?

Ubuntu :: How To Remap And Disable Keys

Feb 26, 2010

Just installed the Ubuntu for the first time and I have a problem. My keyboard's "a" key is faulty, it's acting like it's stuck, that is it is constantly typing aaaas so I had to disable it and reassign the letter "a" to another key. I did this quite easily in Windows with a program called KeyTweak...

Now that I started working in Ubuntu, the damn thing started acting just as it did under windows and it's constantly typing a all over the place, so I can't get any work done. How do I disable the key "a" and reassign "a" to another key(like q for instance)? Are there any programs for key remapping in Ubuntu or I'll have to do it manually? If so, how?

Ubuntu :: Remap Arrow Keys To Win+ijkl ?

Nov 20, 2010

How can I remap arrow keys to windows key + ijkl? I can do this easily in Autohotkey on windows, but I'm struggling on Ubuntu.

I'd really like the solution to work independently of whether I'm using a window manager or not, and to involve modifying as few files as possible; I work on a lots of different machines and am always building new ones, so would like to minimise reconfig effort.

I've tried to understand .Xmodmap, but couldn't make it work (was hard to find detailed docs on modifier keys). Am also considering win+hjkl!

Fedora :: F10, F11- Remap Keys ( Disable Caps Lock And So On With Xmodmap )?

Jun 20, 2009

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.

General :: Re-mapping Non-standard Keys To Modifier Keys?

Apr 7, 2011

I'm running Debian (Squeeze) and I have a toshiba portege m700. It has five buttons on the front just under the screen, which are the only ones accessible when you flip the screen over into tablet mode. One of them is for rotating the screen, and another is for switching to external display. I want to remap the remaining three to control, alt and super so that I can use shortcuts with the stylusThe problem is, when I used showkey to find out the key codes, I found out that each button generates more than one key code:Button 1:

key 126 press >> super_r, although this is distinct from the actual super key (125)
key 7 press >> 6
key 7 release
key 126 release

Ubuntu :: Finch Remap To Win Key And Not Alt Or Ctrl

Apr 20, 2011

After having a few issues with pidgin I've decided to play with pidgin. Its great, but I'm looking for a way to remap the commands to use the Windows key instead of the Alt key. I've found lots of references that show how to remap using the .gntrc file, but none that mention the windows key. This says I can rebind: [URL] And the examples on all the pages I could google are setup to use Alt (a) or Ctrl (c), but not the windows key. Examples I've found follow this format. Simple enough, but what to use for the Win key?

[GntWM::binding]
c-a-n = window-next

I wanted to use Ctrl-Alt-n ,but I would like to use Win-n

Ubuntu / Apple :: Remap Mouse Button 3?

Jan 26, 2010

wondering if any other ppc users have had the issue whereby, after the first unsuccessful power down (or sometimes the second or third) of a fresh ubuntu 9.10 install, mouse button 3, which is normally mapped to F12, becomes function (fn) + F12.? This is really annoying as you now have to use two hands to activate the little drop down menu. So i tried remapping mouse button three to that strange little key beside the left arrow on an ibook keyboard that looks like a picnic table and which, under os x, renames stuff.

I ran "gksu gedit /etc/sysctl.d/10-arch-specific.conf" and edited it accordingly: mouse button 3 from keycode 88 to 104. It works, but i still have to press function to activate it and fn + F12 still works simultaneously (though it is no longer defined in the conf file), and my new key doesnt offer the same functionality (eg, it doesnt give spell check options in firefox where fn + F12 does). Arg. Anybody know how to make it so that i can activate mouse button three without having to press function?

Ubuntu :: How Does One Remap Mouse Buttons To Keystrokes

Nov 17, 2010

I've been playing a fair amount of Minecraft. Awesome game, but I really dislike that the mouse buttons bindings aren't editable. I was wondering if there was a program out there for Linux that can remap a mouse button (Like [Right Click]) to a key on your keyboard. (Like the [Spacebar]) I've done some digging around, but nothing shows up to edit the three standard mouse buttons, just the extended ones.

Ubuntu :: Botloader W/o Enter Key Or Remap Keyboard In Bios?

Oct 16, 2010

So, for some reason the right side ENTER, period, semi colon, SHIFT, and UP, Down, Left arrow keys have all stopped working on my laptop. I just set up a dual boot with windows xp, and ubuntu.

I checked under the keys, and cleaned them, and no problem. This wouldn't be that bad of a sutuation, I could just re-map the keys. However, when my computer starts, and I enter Bios > Bootloader, I get stuck.

I can use home/end to move up and down, but no way to select which OS I want. I have to plug in a USB keyboard to get into my OS. I don't want to be carrying around a keyboard, otherwise I wouldn't have a laptop.

So, I either need a different bootloader which can use some other keys, or I need a way to remap the enter key all the way back at the bios, so I can trick it and enter my OS,

Edit: Actually, I'll probably need a new keyboard. Ubuntu is pretty good with battery life, so I could boot into ubuntu, then hibernate. So, I need a good key mapper for Ubuntu

Fedora :: Remap The Power Button?

Oct 20, 2009

I've got a F10 machine set up as a media center (with mythtv...mythdora to be precise) and I love that it's based on fedora since I'm most familiar with it..I would like to map the power button press to a command "pkill X" since sometimes the frontend freezes and running this command kills X (I'm running ratpoison for the speed and simplicity...it just gets the job done and doesn't get in the way).Any help in mapping a single button press to "pkill X" would be greatly appreciated. I also need some help adding this command to the sudo list so the regular "mythtv" user will be able to run it...no password can be entered since the machine has no keyboard. Currently I log in via ssh to get this done but it would be nice to not have to boot up a laptop just to do this.

OpenSUSE :: Remap A Single Key (or Keymapping In General)?

May 13, 2010

I want to remap a single key on my keyboard. This is the key which will delete or in numpad mode will put a '.' or a ',' in my case.I want the ',' to be a '.' .So I found out that xev gives me some information about the keys.So I tried something likexmodmap -e 'keycode 91 = period'Which is not what I want. Because than the delete command gets overwritten instead of the comma. So I triedxmodmap -e 'keysym 0x0 = period'Which looked like a endless loop to me. 0x0 is also quite strange, isn't it? But this is what xev gave me for numlock activated and the comma-key.The difference between the delete and the comma is the "state".Xev returns for delete:

Code:
KeyRelease event, serial 34, synthetic NO, window 0x4800001,
root 0x10c, subw 0x0, time 1934052, (412,580), root:(416,605),

General :: Fedora 12 (Constantine) Remap Bad Sectors Of HDD?

Apr 11, 2010

I'm currently using Fedora 12 as seen in the subject, and I'm fairly new to it, but recently I've had a problem with my HDD. The problem is bad sectors and I've read up on how they occur but not many placessearched actually explains how to deal with this. When I start up my laptop (Acer 5610z) I get a SMART error saying "predicted disk failure, please back up data and replace drive." Along those lines, so I got curious and used Disk Analyzer this roughly what it says:

Reallocated Sector Count: Failing Normalized:129

Ubuntu Servers :: Simple Logon Script To Remap "My Dcouments"?

I have a samba PDC set up, roaming profiles are not needed as the user accounts are on a per-machine basis (ie the machine on reception logs on as the "user" reception for all the operators, no personal data is stored but I would like to redirect the local My Documents folder of the XP clients to the user /home folder on the samba server. I thought about making the user /home share browsable and having a simple logon script to redirect the My Documents folder to it.

Ubuntu :: Never Get Keys From Keyserver?

Feb 5, 2010

I try to import a key from a keyserver when I add a repository to software sources, it just tries forever and times out. For instance, following the instructions here: [URL]... to add the key "CE49EC21" for the ppa:mozillateam/firefox-stable. Whether I do it in the terminal:

Code:
sudo apt-key adv --keyserver keyserver.ubuntu.com --recv-keys CE49EC21 or by clicking the link on their page, I get nowhere. I've had this problem with other keys from keyserver.ubuntu.com too.

It suddenly occurred to me today that maybe my router is the problem. It has a draconian firewall built in. (For instance, it won't allow incoming bittorrent traffic without me explicitly opening ports.) So maybe, since I'm trying to receive a key, it's preventing the key from coming in? Does anyone know why I'm having this problem getting keys?

Ubuntu :: Rsync - Ssh - Pgp Keys ?

May 15, 2010

I setup keyed ssh between two of my computers on my lan. It was working great. I used Ubuntu's Passwords and Encryption Keys tool to generate the key.

Yesterday I tried rsync'ing a grip of files to the ssh server and couldn't get it to work, I figured I was just messing the rsync command up. Today I just tried to log in using ssh and it just hangs there after I type the ssh command.

With verbosity on it stops at checking the blacklist file. Does this mean it decided my key is one of the badly generated ones? Why would it decide this now I thought it was supposed to catch that when generating the key.

Also I just checked that file it's trying to check doesn't even exist. Should it?

Code:
