NAME
xmakemap - make a keyboard mapping to be used as input to
xmodmap
SYNOPSIS
/usr/bin/xmakemap
DESCRIPTION
xmakemap will produce a keyboard mapping in a form that is
suitable as input to the xmodmap(1) command. xmakemap
writes its output to stdout. Typical usage of xmakemap is
to redirect output from xmakemap to a file (e.g.,
$HOME/.xmodmaprc), edit this file to make necessary cus-
tomizations, and then run xmodmap on the file (i.e.,
$HOME/.xmodmaprc).
For example:
xmakemap > $HOME/.xmodmaprc
[... make necessary customization to $HOME/.xmodmaprc ...]
xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc
If you would like your keytable to be customized each time
you start an X session, you should place the appropriate
command in the session startup file for your desktop envi-
ronment.
For example:
if [ -f $HOME/.xmodmaprc ]; then
xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc
fi
NOTES
An X server must be running to use xmakemap.
Read "Notes" in $HOME/.xmodmaprc.
