C.2.2 SPARC: Undoing the Keyboard Remapping

There are two ways to switch the keys back to their original settings. The first is to exit the OpenWindows software and start it up again. The second method, which is much preferable if you may want to switch the keys back periodically, is to create a second script and initiate it any time you want to switch back.

Follow these instructions to create the second script:

1. Use any editor to create a file called nolefty.data.

   This must be in the same directory that contains the lefty.data script.

2. Type in the script as shown in "C.2.2.1 The nolefty.data Script"

   Any line with an exclamation point in front of it is a comment line, and does not execute any operation.

3. Save the changes and quit the editor.

4. At the prompt, type:

   $xmodmap nolefty.data

   For the nolefty.data file to take effect, you must enter the previous command in the same directory as the script file.
