I'm just about to do a major (?) modification to the tty driver. The problem is to find an acceptable keyboard for programmers. The keyboards nowadays available, especially here in Sweden, has a lot of characters spread out where you don't want them. For a Unix user it's a great advantage to have characters as / | ' * ` { } and perhaps some others as lower case characters. You don't want to do SHIFT-7 to get a /, do you? The idea is to introduce a general mapping of the keyboard just as you can say stty erase ^H one should be able to map the whole keyboard. Even if there is no need to map A to B or whatever it's probably easier to make it general than handle just special cases. If anyone have done this before, has any hints of problems to watch out for or any coments whatsoever, I would be interested to hear from you, I love mail. -- Bjorn Eriksen ENEA DATA Sweden UUCP: {seismo,decvax,philabs}!{mcvax,ukc,unido}!enea!ber ARPA: decvax!mcvax!enea!ber@berkeley.arpa mcvax!enea!ber@seismo.arpa
