custom keyboard layout
-
So, im using the latest slitaz-cooking.
How do i create a custom keyboard layout? Specifically, i'm aiming for a Czech QWERTY, which is not present in slitaz. A cz-lat2 (basically a czech QWERTZ) is, however, present.
Been thinking of modifying the /usr/share/kmap/cz-lat.kmap file (all i need to do is to interchange the Y and Z letters), but i can't figure out the internal languge of that format.
Any advices? -

Try this :
# tazpkg get-install Install kbd-base
# gunzip /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/cz-lat2.map.gz
# edit /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/cz-lat2.map
# loadkeys /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/cz-lat2.map && dumpkmap > custom.kmap
The package kbd-busybox is built like that (http://hg.tuxfamily.org/mercurialroot/slitaz/wok/file/tip/kbd-busybox/receipt)
Would you mind give your cz-lat2 patch back (and a new name for cz-lat2) ?
We may put it in the next release...

Bellard: there you go - cz-qwerty.kmapThough i would not blindly trust that file - i simply wasn't able to test that one; preferences -> keyboard mapping doesn't apparently work in slitaz-cooking with default settings.What worked for me instead was the following:su nano /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/40-Keyboard.confwhere i just changed the kb line to czech(qwerty)Linux in general is quite a mess - so many options, so many ways to do the same things (and so much time wasted figuring things out).It wouldn't hurt it if at least Slitaz aimed for consistency, though.
Howdy, Stranger!
