How to modify layout.map.gz?

kornerr · 06-11-2005, 11:03 PM

All ru*.map.gz switch keyboard layout by pressing RightCtrl, or RightAlt, or CapsLock.
I want to modify it to be able to switch keyboard layout by pressing Both Control keys.

Any help, any tutorial are very appreciated.
Thanks.

This document may help you. Scroll down to Section 3.2. Near the end of that section, there is a setting: add Control = Control_L Control_R which may be what you are looking for.

This document is a bit further than my current problem. As far as I understood it's about keys in X.
Thanks for that, bigrigdriver.
I'll be doing this in X after I will do it in console.

Currently I found a way to modify *.map.gz. And, as all in Linux, map.gz appeared to be quite a descriptive file itself.
I can now assign any key on my keyboard to switch language

So I'm thinking now which one to choose

Anyone knows how to make multimedia keys accessible thru layout.map.gz?
At the end of ru42.map.gz:

Code:

altgr   shift   keycode 109 =   Scroll_Forward
                keycode 110 =   Insert
                keycode 111 =   Remove
altgr   control keycode 111 =   Boot
control alt     keycode 111 =   Boot
altgr   control alt keycode 111 = Boot
                keycode 112 =
                keycode 113 =
                keycode 114 =
                keycode 115 =
                keycode 116 =
                keycode 117 =
                keycode 118 =
                keycode 119 =
                keycode 120 =
                keycode 121 =
                keycode 122 =
                keycode 123 =
                keycode 124 =
                keycode 125 =
                keycode 126 =
                keycode 127 =
string  F1 =    "\033[[A"
string  F2 =    "\033[[B"
string  F3 =    "\033[[C"
string  F4 =    "\033[[D"
string  F5 =    "\033[[E"
string  F6 =    "\033[17~"
string  F7 =    "\033[18~"
string  F8 =    "\033[19~"
string  F9 =    "\033[20~"
string  F10 =   "\033[21~"
string  F11 =   "\033[23~"
string  F12 =   "\033[24~"
string  F13 =   "\033[25~"
string  F14 =   "\033[26~"
string  F15 =   "\033[28~"
string  F16 =   "\033[29~"
string  F17 =   "\033[31~"
string  F18 =   "\033[32~"
string  F19 =   "\033[33~"
string  F20 =   "\033[34~"
string  Find =  "\033[1~"
string  Insert =        "\033[2~"
string  Remove =        "\033[3~"
string  Select =        "\033[4~"
string  Prior = "\033[5~"
string  Next =  "\033[6~"
string  F21 =   ""
string  F22 =   ""
string  F23 =   ""
string  F24 =   ""
string  F25 =   ""
string  F26 =   ""

So I thought I could add

Code:

string EjectCD = "\033[EJECT"

and

Code:

keycode 223 = EjectCD

So that I can use multimedia key under console, but while loading it says that there's no such thing like EjectCD.
Any suggestions?

Thanks.
