What would be useful here is the ability to "compose" keymaps. There would be basically two sets: one that defines the layout of the main keyboard and one that defines the layout of the other keys. That way I could pick my dvorak layout, then add on a layout that, say, swaps control and caps lock but leaves the main layout alone. -john To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
