[comp.windows.x] remapping keysyms

breck@umvlsi.ecs.umass.edu (Liam Breck) (02/16/91)

Hi all...

Keyboards tend to vary a lot, and analagous layouts may not generate
analagous keysyms (ie: the R1-15 keys on older Suns are analagous to
KP_* keys on other keyboards).  I find myself running clients intended
for one layout on X servers that have an attached keyboard with a
different layout.  What I want to know is, is there a tool like
xmodmap (or a window manager) that will rebind keysyms to other
keysyms for SPECIFIC clients.

Not a regular reader here...  Please email.  Will summarize or respond
to individuals if there's interest.

thanx!
