You would use the program setkeycodes to start with. Check the Keyboard-and-Console-HOWTO and it gives some info there. You might also check the man pages. There is a way to add this into the keymap. As a result, you should be able to remap any keycombo you want. Limitations being that many keyboards won't handle more then three keys pressed at the same time. I have tested two and found they ignore further keyevents once three are pressed. Now I know why those keyboard braille programs aren't any good. ======= Kirk Wood Cpt.Kirk at 1tree.net "When I take action, I'm not going to fire a $2 million missle at a $10 empty tent and hit a camel in the butt.
