[Solved] BEPO keyboard and dead keys

Hello!
So, I'm using a French BEPO keyboard, and it works pretty well, till today.
Indeed, today, I wanted to write a greek letter, µ, but I couldn't. This letter is mapped to Alt-Gr+g.
However, when loading the bepo in the console, it's working well (in a TTY). This only affects QT or GTK applications so far (X).
This is the only one not working: my other dead keys just works like a charm (-> ´+i=í…)
My final purpose is to be able to type any simple greek letter as explained here (http://bepo.fr/wiki/Lettre_grecque_sous_Linux). But I need the mu lettre to work first…
I've tried GTK_IM_MODULE=xim, but then my normal deadkeys don't work anymore nor this alt-gr+g.
By default, I use:
export GTK_IM_MODULE=ibus
export XMODIFIERS=@im=ibus
export QT_IM_MODULE=ibus
I also found out that alt-gr+/(L) is not working as a dead key (in order to type ø for example). (http://bepo.fr/wiki/Barre_inscrite)
I should, lastly, say that I use a typematrix keyboard which is build with BEPO on it.

Hi,
I aslo use the BÉPO layout.
The Alt-Gr + G key changed in xorg with the last update of the xkeyboard-config package (happened on June 02 for me): this combination was the 'μ' greek letter, now it is the 'dead_greek' dead character. It is now what it should be so that is fine.
To type the 'μ' letter, you now type Alt-Gr+G, followed by M.
Note that this dead key works for me only if I use the xim input method. With other input method, some dead keys work, some others don't.
I don't use some variables to set the input method, I use dconf-editor (package dconf),
I set the key org/gnome/desktop/interface/gtk-im-module to xim (you don't have to restart for this change to take effect).
When I was trying to configure greek letters before the xkeyboard-config update, I also found out that when I have a ~/.Xcompose file, it kills all the dead keys of my layout, I don't know if this is a bug or if I'm doing something wrong. Try to remove yours.

Mapping keyboard and mouse keys onto my gamepad

I'm using arch linux x86_64 and I want to map some keyboard and mouse keys onto my gamepad to play games which don't support the gamepad directly. How can I do this?

Have you tried using xbindkeys?
Do
xbindkeys -k
to see what your buttons are mapped to..
Also QJoyPad.

Firefox and Thunderbird creates CGLog files in /tmp on my Mac. It contains a lot of info related to keyboard and mouse (keys, scrolls, clicks!) I am concerned!

These files mostly contains following lines:

External keyboard and modifier keys

I like to swap my "Ctrl" and "Command" modifiers keys and I've never had a problem doing this until upgrading to Lion. If I disconnect and reconnect my external keyboard sometimes my modifier keys are reset.
Lion lets you change modifier keys per keyboard which is where I think the problem lies. I also have duplicate listings for my external keyboard and I'm not sure how to delete the duplicates.
Does anyone know how to fix these issues?

Also, I'm not sure if it matters but my mouse and keyboard are connected through a USB hub which then connects to the Macbook Air.

New Apple Keyboard and Insert Key

I'm using the new Apple Keyboard (http://www.apple.com/keyboard/) and I'm quite happy with it. The only big disadvantage is the missing Insert-Key, the Apple Keyboard has a function (fn) Key, where the insert-key is normally located. I need the insert-key especially for selecting in midnight commander. What would be the best way to remap the insert-key to the fn-key for console and X-Windows?

Here are some relevant other threads:
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=56619
http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55482
These are just threads I've participated in; I'm sure there are more. The bottom line is: check with showkey (in the Linux console) or xev (in X) to see how the fn key is getting recognized. If it's working just like another key on the keyboard, e.g., like space or shift, then you can remap it the same way you'd remap any key. (The process is different for Linux console than for X.) But most likely it's not working just like another key on the keyboard, in which case it will be difficult/impossible to remap it to insert. However, you could always choose another key, or key combination, to remap to insert. Perhaps even a key combination of the form fn+KEY. The kernel won't recognize fn as a modifier like shift or control, but it should recognize SOME fn+KEY combinations as being SOME keyboard keys. For example, on my keyboard fn+left arrow is recognized as Home. I think that as far as the kernel and all the key-remapping tools can tell, I only pressed Home on my keyboard not any combination including left arrow.

Keyboard and its Keys.

Hi everyone!
well I searched and noticed nothing related to what i will post but I do hope I can get some help.
Issue:
I own a 12" PB of course...
I was recently cleaning my keyboard. Incidently I removed the small key in the lower right corner ( go ahead and look I wont giggle) its the right arrow key that says end. I still have the key and its undamaged. BUT I cant seem to get it back on. And I wont force it. Any helpful advice? please?
I do love my PB.
Also I was seeking other thoughts. I just got a external HD for backup? I know the 80gb HD is so small now a days. I know that I can store stuff on this external HD. But what are your thoughts on using the external HD to store apps and launch thme from the Ext HD? By the way the Ext. HD is usb.
Thank you

Lower the right side of the key down onto the place where the key fit. Next, lower the left side and push it down. You will hear a click and the key should be seated.

Keyboard w/dead keys...

Arrows and right shift keys don't function, all else are fine, any suggestions?

Hi...
Pull the battery now and place the phone in a bag of rice to dry it out...
Here is another link on wet blackberries...
If the phone is already dried out, you can send the phone out and have it repaired at the component level.
There are several services that can do this. One is the bbrepairshop in Houston.

[solved] us-keyboard and german umlauts

hello
is it possible to get umlauts on a us keyboard? i know that debian has an us_de layout,which allows umlauts on us kbd, but i couldn't find one in arch...
any suggestions/solutions?
Last edited by kriz (2010-02-06 17:31:50)

I'm Dutch, but we also have a sort of "umlaut" on some letters, but less often than you Germans
I have this in my /etc/hal/fdi/policy/10-keymap.fdi:
<merge key="input.xkb.layout" type="string">us</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.variant" type="string">altgr-intl</merge>
<merge key="input.xkb.options" type="string">eurosign:5</merge>
So I use the AltGr as a Compose key when I want to type some special characters.
For "ü" (we dont use that, but you do afaik?), I do:
1. Press AltGr + " # (" = Shift + ' , so it's actually: AltGr + Shift + ' ), and let go. Nothing will appear on screen yet.
2. Press u
Tadaa: ü
Just like the deadkeys you would have as a default in Windows, but then using the Compose key to get there. I happen to write code from time to time, so I like it when I can get " directly instead of having to press Space to get it on screen after pressing ".
But if you want the deadkeys behaviour, simply use that variant instead or whatever you need to get that working.
There is a nice list, I believe the exact file is listed in the wiki of Xorg somewhere at keyboard section.

Solved: ADF BC and primary keys - how to implement without using triggers

Using the following OBE as an example:
http://www.oracle.com/technology/obe/obe9051jdev/ADFWorkshop/BuildingADFApplicationsWorkshop.htm
There is just one view that has CustomerId defined as a primary key, where the value for the primary key comes from the customer_seq sequence.
How do you create the model using ADF BC entity to create an entity object that has a primary key that needs to be populated by a sequence table when inserted WITHOUT using a trigger?
Basically I want to just use ADF BC instead of toplink in the OBE. We do not use triggers to insert primary keys, so this example is a good match for what I need.
Can someone help me out. How do I adjust the model to use just ADF BC - how do I define the entity object to use a sequence. Do I just override the create method in the impl? Is it that simple? Or is there a way to do this point and click in the entity tool.
Thanks!

I'm not the dba (or one of several) - so don't shoot the messenger... the dba's do not like to use triggers in the code. I have been told that this has caused too many problems in application development.
I don't ask why, just deal with the fallout.
I did try using the following code in a create method:
protected void create(AttributeList attributeList)
super.create(attributeList);
SequenceImpl s = new SequenceImpl("customers_seq", getDBTransaction());
// this.setCustId(s.getSequenceNumber());
this.createPrimaryKey(s.getSequenceNumber());
When I run the test program for the module, I get a new entry with the id empty and greyed out. I was hoping that this would be filled in on the actual insert, but no joy. As soon as I try to commit, I get an error:
(oracle.jbo.AttrValException) JBO-27014: Attribute CustId in CustomersWSView is required)
So what needs to be done?

[SOLVED] razercfg, AUR and public keys.

Hello!
I am wandering about AUR package razercfg, recently is failed to build with error:
==> Verifying source file signatures with gpg...
razercfg-0.31.tar.bz2 ... FAILED (unknown public key 5FB027474203454C)
==> ERROR: One or more PGP signatures could not be verified!
==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build razercfg.
In the comments to the package I read maintainer's note:
Import the author's key if you want makepkg to verify the source tarball:
http://bues.ch/cms/resources/contact.html#gnupg_pgp_key
So I went to http://bues.ch/cms/resources/contact.html#gnupg_pgp_key and found:
My PGP key has got the ID number 908D8B0E. It can be obtained from most public key servers like keys.gnupg.net or directly from this site.
So I imported it like that:
$ gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net/ --recv-key 908D8B0E
gpg: key 908D8B0E: public key "Michael Büsch <[email protected]>" imported
gpg: no ultimately trusted keys found
gpg: Total number processed: 1
gpg: imported: 1
The package is still failing to build with the same error. Afterwards I read notes by other users suggesting to import (another?) key:
gpg --keyserver hkp://keys.gnupg.net/ --recv-key 5FB027474203454C
I as understand 5FB027474203454C is the key mentioned in pkgbuild. But the author's page from the package maintainer's note suggests to import 908D8B0E not 5FB027474203454C. Could anyone help me please figure this out?

Thy not use pacman-key? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Pacman-key
Edit: Is it because you've read https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Ma … e_checking ?
I just googled the last 8 chars of validpgpkeys mentioned in the PKGBUILD in the AUR and got http://bues.ch/cms/resources/git.html - it's the key the author uses for git projects.
Edit:
$ sudo pacman-key -r 4203454C

Buttons and enter key problem

hello,
there are a few projects of enterprise quality which I am developing in java swing. I found out through research that many or rather most people involved with java believe that swing is ready for enterprise class robust desktop applications.
so I as the team leador am starting my new projects in java swing.
I personally find that the amount of java libraries present provide a rich set of functionality and it gives big mussle power to the developers.
I am only concerned about one problem which many of you might have solved.
I find that I have to hit the space bar instead of enter key to fire an action. in languages like vb I can press enter key to fire the click events. specially in menu items I certainly don't expect my clients to press the spacebar. besides there are many people who are so used to the keyboard and enter key in particular that it will be hard or rather next to impossible to change their habbits.
how can I make the menu items work with the enter key. I mean do I need to create the code for keypress events every time I also create an action performed method? or is there a way where I can do it without extra coding.
it is just that I don't want to right extra code for enter key along with click events.
one more important note.
I am a blind person and I use the access bridge technology of java.
so when I am involved in coding, I use the same.
so may be my problem isn't a problem in the first place.
kindly provide me some help
thanks
Krishnakant.

The enter-key works on menu-items in all my applications. It did so since I started with java few years ago.
Maybe some other problem (OS-specific) ?

Having problem with dead key in Leopard

Hello. I'm having problem with dead key in Leopard.
In Tiger it was working, but in Leopard dead key "'" doesn't work.
In Tiger I could use OPTION key as well to get Latvian special characters (both worked - OPTION Key and dead-key), but in LEOPARD OPTION key is the only possibility to get these characters.
How can I get dead key "'" working?
I'm using Latvian language with Latvian keyboard layout.
Here are images how it looked in Tiger:
1) Before dead key is pressed:
http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/1.tiff
2) After dead key is pressed:
http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/2.tiff

ok, i got answer
so - first problem was that ukelele didn't work in leopard (it wasn't possible to start new layout), but it was possible to edit Tom Gewecke posted layout.
There it is possible to change every thing (dead-key as well).
So I edited it and now i have layout where dead-key works -
http://amerix.no-ip.org/tmp/LatvianT.keylayout
Just do what Tom Gewecke said with this layout. It should work!

[SOLVED] Vi and international keyboards dead keys

Hello all,
I'm learning Vi from the excellent documentation by the author himself and Mary Ann Horton at FreeBSD Documentation. However I'm facing a wall that I can't seem to get around.
Under the portuguese keyboard layout as defined by pt-latin1, the following diacritics are dead-keys:
~ (tilde)
^ (circumflex) (above the tilde, requires also the use of the SHIFT key)
` (gave accent, aka back tick) (above acute accent, requires the use of the SHIFT key)
Because they are dead keys, these diacritics aren't compatible with Vi command mode and certain CTRL combinations. They are however very useful. How can I handle this problem in Vi without remmaping these symbols to different keys (it is very important I don't remap them)? Is there a way to temporarily disable dead-keys functionality and have them function as regular one-hit keys?
My search for pt keymaps without dead keys produced 0 results. So, I don't think that is an option.

Well, I took a closer look at man keymaps and found a way to deal with this; I can create single modifier definitions and load them with loadkeys.
So, if I look at dumpkeys I may find the following two lines
keycode 27 = dead_acute dead_grave apostrophe
keycode 43 = dead_tilde dead_circumflex asciitilde Control_backslash
I now know the keycodes. So I can create a new file (say, pt-latin1-undead), and write this this:
plain keycode 27 = acute
shift keycode 27 = grave
plain keycode 43 = asciitilde
shift keycode 43 = circumflex
Then all I need to do is load it with:
sudo loadkeys pt-latin1-undead
This will load it on top of my current keymap, replacing only those modifiers I defined and leaving the rest intact. When I'm done and want to get back to dead_keys mode, I simply load pt-latin1 again. Tested it already and works flawlessly!
The only disadvantage I can see is that loadkeys requires root access.
Note: The actual code for circumflex is 'asciicircum'. I didn't know this and my first try with 'asciicircumflex' was giving me a syntax error on loadkeys. So I just tried 'circumflex' and it worked. Seems to be a synonym.
Flagging as SOLVED.
