xmakemap(1) General Commands Manual xmakemap(1) 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 customiza- tions, 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 environment. 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.
