|Yes, this surprised me too. This test is true if $___SHRC is undefined,

It is also all the bugs everywhere; if a shell does not dig the
"there has been meat" then it may vanish to nothing, as in other
contexts it even has to
#?0|kent:tmp$ i=i j=\ s; echo a $i${j} b
a i s b
#?0|kent:tmp$ i= j=\ s; echo a $i${j} b
a s b

Thanks for this. Yes, i had not understood this shall end up as
the : no-op in the end. (Even more bogus given that kre@ at times
persuaded me to use "while :;" etc loops instead of "while true;"
etc, so .. i failed.)

|Heh. I had to do the same on one of my old laptops; except a lot more keys

|
|```
|$ cat /mnt/bak/sdf/tmp/nbsd/qey.sh
|#!/bin/sh

|keycode 1 = grave asciitilde
|keycode 14 = BackSpace

|keycode 24 = o O i I
|keycode 31 = s S a A
|keycode 33 = f F d D
|keycode 35 = h H g G
|keycode 38 = l L k K
|keycode 49 = n N m M
|keycode 52 = period greater slash question

These are quite a lot.. But it is surprising how naturally it
became. Here in the jungle every little piece wants extra
config.

There you go. In general i am always happy when i have setup a VM
and go via ssh, so often SDL keymap was/is wrong (especially EFI
/ boot), and VNC i even no longer use at all because you surely be
unable to use some things.
