hey folks, trying to customize my german keyboard to work the way I want it to. Mostly I want to switch the y and z keys so I can touchtype. I found that the mac family of keymaps doesn't work for me at all -- maybe they're for a different generation of keyboards -- but the i386 maps work pretty well. So now I'm using the de-latin1 keymap with the z and y keys switched around. So that's fine. BUt I can't figure out how to define the apple keys as "mode-switch" keys, so I can access the 3rd and 4th keycodes in the keymap table. So for instance, rightn ow I can't type "@" or "|" from the console.
Looking around at the keymaps, I figure I need a key like keycode 100 = AltGr or something. bu: 1) -- not sure whether I need AltGr or some other value in that statement 2) -- I can't figure out how to identify the scancode of these keys. Is there a trick to doing that? also... I would love to synchronize the keyboards in X and the console, instead of having to customize them both separately. Is there a way to do this? thanks as usual, matt
