Thanks Walter. From Michael's email (thanks too), it looks like the maps are installed (current Joyride build) already, and a loadkeys es from the console gets a fair few more of the keys correct. Is this something worth improving as the map could do with quite a bunch of corrections? Here's a quick list of miss-matches I noted: ` (shift 3) generates a floating dot of some kind { (shift [) generates a strange star like character (not *) [ generates a + ] generates a ç (c with a 5 shape like accent below) } (shift ]) generates an uppercase Ç (as above) + generates some hidden accent modifier * generates some hidden accent modifier ~ generates { ^ (alt-gr 5) has no visible effect \ (alt-gr 7) generates } º generates [ > has no visible effect < has no visible effect (please let me know if there is a formal place/format I should report these to if the change is worth making). The console still feels like a fallback tool in the case of emergencies (I'm glad to have it there), but Terminal is now a much more functional (and integrated) interface as noted in a number of other emails. --Gary _______________________________________________ Devel mailing list Devel@lists.laptop.org http://lists.laptop.org/listinfo/devel
