Use showkey to find the keycode of the key you want to remap; I use the Windows "Application" key (the one that emulates a right-click under Windows), which is keycode 127. After that, the best way I know of to modify the console keymap is to look in /usr/share/keymaps for your default keymap; mine's in /usr/share/keymaps/i386/qwerty/uk.kmap.gz. Edit that (gunzipping first and re-gzipping at the end if necessary; my editor (vim) does that for me), and put an appropriate line at the end. For me the extra line is 'keycode 127 = Compose'. Finally, use /usr/sbin/kbdconfig to install and load the modified keymap. Of course, none of this works under X :(, so you'll need to find an XKB guru who knows how to do that ... -- Colin Watson [EMAIL PROTECTED]
