Re: how to enable use of right-alt key

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi Al:

I do what you're asking for myself on every boot manually. I took a dump
of all 7K+ lines of a dumpkeys into a keymaps file, edited altgr to
match alt, and saved the result in my /root. When I boot and login root,
I simply do:
loadkeys keymaps

Now that's arguably the lazy way, and who knows what croft I'm acquiring
over time! :)

In any case, keymaps is your friend. I suspect localectl is the better
way to accomplish what we're after.
