The problem is that by keeping the macintosh layouts separate from the PC layouts, there are fewer macintosh layouts than there could be. > > Long-term, I'd actually like to increase the similarities between PC > > and Apple keyboards, > > macintosh/us could be changed to include and modify pc symbols? True, but I'd rather do that via the Rules component.

I don't think there are that many. There were some Apple keyboards that had the Euro symbol on the 2 instead of the E, but I think they're pretty close. But I'd want to check before making that change, of course. > > > BTW, where do you get the Multi_key definition from? Can't seem to find > > > it here. > > > > What do you mean?

No. It doesn't have the Eject symbol on it, so I never tried. Doesn't do anything at all though. I'm running pmud and not pbbuttonsd though. I couldn't get pbbuttonsd to change my volume. And I have an original iBook. > > but I imagine it's related to X's KP_Equal bug. > > So was the fix specific to KP_Equal, or could it fix all such keys? The fix was specific to KP_Equal, but David Dawes seemed to think that there were more like it. I think there's a new and old keyboard driver, but the new isn't finished or being worked on. Frank
