I have been trying to figure out how to reprogram an arbitrary key on the keyboard to an arbitrary character string in X11R3. In X10, there was a program called keycomp(1) which you could use to make an .Xkeymap file, but X11 doesn't have keycomp. Of course, there is xmodmap(1), but all the documentation I have on xmodmap seems to indicate that it is only useful for programming a key to send an character, not a string. I've experimented with xmodmap, and this appears to be the case. Surely X11 hasn't taken a step *backwards* in functionality from X10, so how does one associate a string with a key? -- David Barts Pacer Corporation davidb@pacer.uucp ...!uunet!pilchuck!pacer!davidb
