Hello, I try to write a shell script that would be executed in a console (such as an xterm), and that allows the following feature. The script, when started, allows you to press anykey from the keyboard. there si no problem with keys relied to "printable" characters, but the script has no effect using a Ctrl or Shift key for instance. I have tried to set all the keycodes of the keyboard to a printable letter (for say to a) using for all known keycodes with number i, do xmodmap -e "keycode i = a". But then I have problems with some keys using AltGr I am french and for say the following characters ~#{[|`\^@ are accessed via the AltGr key. As many keyboards exist, and I would like my script to be used by everyone, I think I have to developp my own command. As I don't know all of X features, my question is: does there exist a way to write a script using default commands in X that would do what I expect. I tried xev, and can get info via xwininfo, but I cannot use them in my script.
