[gentoo-user] Redefining a single key in Xorg 6.8?

2006-02-02 Thread Michael Kjorling
I run x11-base/xorg-x11-6.8.2-r6 and would like to redefine a single
key on the keyboard. I found a number of tutorials on how to create a
completely custom keyboard layout, but this seems like overkill.

How do I change this one key without creating a whole new layout,
preferably only for my own account?

See 'man xmodmap', the examples near the end, things like:

  xmodmap -e keycode 240 = a A space Return

Put the required xmodmap command in your .bashrc.

Great, thanks! I thought xmodmap was what I was looking for but missed
the part on the -e switch.
