Modifying X-Modifiers

Posted by Cliff on from the ctrl-alt-shift-mod dept.

In this case, I'm trying to bind Alt + Shift + j/k/l/i to function as arrow keys. I don't know if it's an Enlightenment function ("__ACTION __KEY Left" segfaulted) or an X function."

      I found xmodmap a horrible pain in the ass. Then, I got xkeycaps. It's a graphical front-end to xmodmap, and now I've got my keyboard hacked to do everything I want (except I still can't type oe ligature, anyone know if that can be done under x?). It takes a little fiddling to get used to, but then it's great.

  2. It's an E feature by sTeF · · Score: 1

    __ACTION __KEY is an E feature, but that's already covered by the Subject of this posting. I can only recommend, what the previous posts say: xmodmap!
