Map certain keys Debian KDE

#1 Post by O'Niel »

Hi

I want to change the layout of a few keys, for example: if I press the 'A'-key 'Z' appears.
I searched on how to do this but only found on how to change he whole layout e.g azerty and qwerty...

Thanks!

Why do you want to do this? Why is changing the whole layout not good for you?

My Alt-Gr key broke,
I need those to use the curly brackets, but I don't have the feeling to repair my laptop keyboard right now so I want to be able to press the key with the curly bracket (the ç-key) and let the bracket appear.

In short:
Normally: Alt-Gr + ç = {
But Alt-Gr is broken, so
I need: ç = {

I need to map ç to { ,

That's why. Thanks

If you have 2 Alt keys or 2 Ctrl keys, you could remap one of those to behave like AltGr.

Code: Select all

xmodmap -e "keycode 105 = ISO_Level3_Shift"
That changes the right Ctrl to AltGr.

Any good to you?

Seems like it's remapped, but I can't use RightCtrl + ç to get a bracket...

I'm not sure I understand. If AltGr + C = ç, why do you need that to get a {. Aren't the brackets on their own keys? What layout are you using?
