Hi folks, for my Lenovo T520 I got a new keyboard. It is a cheap one from China.
As this keyboard differs in the layout cpompared to the old one, some keys are mapped other (i.e. page-up / down in the original needs the function key = second layer, in th enew one it is just page-up /down without any Function). Thus, you guess it, the keycodes differ. Whilst the old one gets keycode = 140 (showkeys helped), it is 158 on the new keyboard. Now my question: I want to remap the keycodes. The old ones can be find out, but I have to set it to the new keyboard. There is xkmodmap, which helps for X, but I also need it on console. It would be nice, if you can get me some example, how to set the keycodes for console and for X together and permannetly. I believe, setxkbmap will be a good start, but I am not sure. Is there a better way? And how should this be done. An example might help, lets say, we want change the page-up key from 158 to 140. What is the best way? Personally I would like to prefer using a configuration file, so that I can felxible edit it and revert to original, when I maybe get another keyboard some day. Thanks for any hints. Best Hans
