Srry, I did not test the mentionend programs. I just found the configuration of xhkeys just easy and it useful for all keyborads with additional functions. I had the idea in my mind, if this program will be liked by others (who do not know it yet, because it seems very unknown, as I saw in the mailing lists) , it could establish a set of preconfigured samples of keyboards. This would have been my second idea to the community.
And as there was just a rpm-package and no debian-package avalable, I did it by myself and built one. I know, it could be not perfect, so I asked for support. It is my first try, to build a package. It is always the first time. :) > > There is always room for new and better programs, but we can do without > programs that aren't improvements and just cause redundancy. :) Yes, you are right.
