hi, in http://www.lyx.org/devel/translation.php we have:
Keyboard maps allow users to type in various languages. They allow you either to remap single keys, or to map combinations of keys to certain accented or other characters. To make a new kmap, you just have to create a .kmap file. can somebody enlighten me about this? are keymaps still used or this is some leftover from the time there was no propoer keyboard support under X11? don't remember i need it any time i worked with lyx still our FAQ suggest thats needed for typing in various languages. pavel
