NAME

mk_modmap - translate a Linux keytable file into an xmodmap file

 

SYNOPSIS

mk_modmap[-v]keymap_file

 

DESCRIPTION

Themk_modmapcommand tries to translate a Linux console keytable file intoa file that can be parsed by xmodmap, and used within X.It outputs the results to standard out.

If the-vflag 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 Linuxkeymap, so xmodmap will often be superfluous.
