Those are great, thank! I may try the first and I completely forgot about the second. You reminded me that this is how I used to do this in the past. Thanks!

You have at least four options: You can disable the XKB extension of X so that it uses the same keyboard map as the console does. You can use Option "XkbOptions""ctrl:swapcaps" in /etc/X11/XF86Config or something the like. You can use an ~/.xmodmap file, probably created with xkeycaps. You can use the Gnome 2.6 Control Panel. I would prefer the first, but as I never got around configuring my console as I wish I ended up with the second. I think the fourth sucks, and I use the third too for both user-specific â as opposed to system-wide â configurations and for fancy AltGr characters. -- Leandro GuimarÃes Faria Corsetti Dutra +55 (11) 5685 2219 Av Sgto Geraldo Santana, 1100 6/71[EMAIL PROTECTED] 04.674-000 SÃo Paulo, SPBRASIL http://br.geocities.com./lgcdutra/ -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".

Re: gnome 2.6 and keybindings
Thanks! I'm using Sarge and I only have two tabs in the "keyboard preferences" window. Thus still not sure how to remap my keys.

Very strange I have 4 tabs in the "Keyboard Prefernces" window, one of which is "Layout Options" and under this several keys can be swapped around etc. I'm running Sid BTW. -- Nicholas Lativy http://homepage.ntlworld.com/lativy signature.asc Description: Digital signature
Re: gnome 2.6 and keybindings
I've checked this 10 or so times. I must be missing something. How do I remap the keys? When I go to Applications/Desktop Preferences/Keyboard, a window labeled "Keyboard Preferences" emerges. There are two tabs, "Keyboard" and "Typing Break". Neither seem to offer key remapping. Clicking "Accessibility" didn't do much for me either.

gnome 2.6 and keybindings
Hi, sorry for such a basic question but can't seem to find (what seems should be) a quick answer. How do I switch key bindings in Gnome 2.6 (for Sarge)? I like to switch Caps Lock and Control and have done this for the console but it gets unswitched when Gnome (gdm) is started. How do I switch it within Gnome, too?
