Follow these steps to create and use your remapping script:
Create a file called lefty.data using any text editor.
This can be in any directory. Step 4 must occur in the same directory in which you create this file.
Type in the script as shown in "C.2.1.1 The lefty.data Script"
Any line with an exclamation point in front of it is a comment line, and does not execute any operation.
Save the changes and quit the editor.
At the prompt, type:
$xmodmap lefty.data |
You must be in the same directory as the script file.
Click a mouse button in the Workspace to make the script take effect.
Once you have completed these steps you can use the keyboard so the keys are mapped for a left-handed person.
Type the following script into the file lefty.data, as described in Step 1.
! ! lefty.data ! ! Data for xmodmap to set up the left and right function keys ! for left-handed use on Sun Type-4 keyboard. To use this data, ! type the following where <filename> is the name of the file ! (i.e., lefty.data). ! ! xmodmap <filename> ! !
