NAME
xmakemap - make a keyboard mapping to be used as input to xmodmap
SYNOPSIS
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
