Here's my file; I want a Compose key rather than a Menu key. $ cat /etc/default/keyboard # KEYBOARD CONFIGURATION FILE # Consult the keyboard(5) manual page. XKBMODEL="pc105" XKBLAYOUT="us" XKBVARIANT="" XKBOPTIONS="lv3:ralt_switch,compose:caps,terminate:ctrl_alt_bksp" BACKSPACE="guess" $ > (2) Why would I want to do this? To map another key to Menu. Isn't that what you asked for? I'm getting confused. You wanted Pause: I gave you CapsLock. I find CapsLock useless as such on the keyboard, but I use it for Compose—a lot. You might like it for Menu. IDK. Of course, you could read up on KDE, which I know nothing about. Do they call said key a windows key or a menu key? Anyway, they might even have a mailing list. Cheers, David.
