>The international keyboard Xmodmap HOWTO. Copyright (C) 1999, 2002 Juraj Sipos
|
|
(xvudpapc@savba.sk). Imagine you use a Linux or a BSD OS and want to write
|
|
a business letter to a person that has a foreign name with a slash or
|
|
diaeresis (two dots above a letter). Czech language uses signs like ů
|
|
and many European languages have their special non-English characters.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>This is the Xmodmap Howto, but some info on XKB is included, too.
|
|
Why Xmodmap? Xmodmap is a little hackers' solution that lets you gain
|
|
a complete control of a keyboard - you can map the keyboard to almost
|
|
everything. You can do this with XKB, too, but it's a little dirtier way,
|
|
albeit a possible one. A good idea is to keep your XKB maps clean and unmodified,
|
|
so that you don't have to reinstall your Unix box. Xmodmap solution helps you
|
|
map keyboard to your choice and if something goes wrong, you will be able
|
|
to use standard X keyboard. Some people also like their own customized
|
|
keyboard layouts and this HOWTO will explain how to achieve this.</P
|
|
><P
|
|
>With information in this file you can make your own customized (international)
|
|
keyboard layouts without installing any additional packages. The following
|
|
information will help you set up German, Spanish, Italian, Slovak, Czech,
|
|
Polish, Slovenian, Croatian, Danish, Dutch, French, Finnish, Norwegian,
|
|
Estonian, Latvian, Swedish and other keyboards. You can also alternatively
|
|
look at my hompage at <A

|
|
TARGET="_top"
|
|
>http://www.freebsd.nfo.sk</A
|
|
>
|
|
to see visual layouts of various keyboards. In case you want to install
|
|
Greek, Hebrew or Russian language, follow my information and apply
|
|
changes pertinent to these languages also with respect to other
|
|
documentation (e.g., install Greek fonts, etc., see the Cyrilic,
|
|
Hebrew, or Danish howto). </P
