Hello PC users!
What about putting a penguin sticker on top of those "Window 95" keys on all
new keyboards ?
They could come handy as new modifiers, for example to switch virtual consoles,
leaving Alt free and providing a good alternative for Ctrl-alt(gr)-Fn in X and
DosEmu; more, one could use them to control X window managers leaving usual
keys for applications (e.g. Alt-Tab used by Midnight Commander is usually bound
to some sort of cycling through windows), and we could use a single-key compose.
Their scancodes are already seen by Linux, but I could not find any way to bind
them to a modifier (it seems there are no extra modifiers to use). Also, I'm
not good enough to fiddle with xmodmap. Anyway I have been successfull in
binding the menu-like thing to compose: "echo keycode 127 = Compose | loadkeys".
Is there a way to have a new modifier or we need to hack kernel? How is Linux
doing on a Sun, since they have plenty of extra keys and modifiers?
Maybe we could build a new keyboard mapping table?
Bye, Enrico
