[solved] remap keys in pager less

Hi,
less seems to be the most common pager for cli and is very convenient, as it has vim-keybindings for movement.
However, I changed my keyboard layout, so that j and k are no longer lying at their querty-Positions.
Is there a way to remap keys in less or do I have to modify the sourcecode and build it on my own?
Thanks in advance!

lesskey might be what you're looking for.
DESCRIPTION
Lesskey is used to specify a set of key bindings to be used by less.

[SOLVED] Remapping keys using udev hwdb doesn't work on rightAlt

hi, I had posted this topic in the [ newbie corner ] subforum for days, but got no repliy. I hope I can find luck here.
I'm trying to use udev hwdb for swapping pairs of keys ( esc, caps_lock ) and ( rightAlt , rightCtrl ) . I followed the instruction here Map Scancodes to Keycodes with procedures describe blow. I only succeed in exchanging pair (esc, caps_lock) but failed in (rightAlt, rightCtrl).
Details of Procedures:
Create an empty file under /usr/lib64/udev/hwdb.d with file name 90-custom-keys.hwdb . Add the following lines into this file.
keyboard:dmi:bvn*:bvr*:bd*:svnDell*:pn*
KEYBOARD_KEY_01=capslock
KEYBOARD_KEY_3a=esc
KEYBOARD_KEY_e038=rightctrl
KEYBOARD_KEY_e01d=rightalt
Rebuilding hwdb.bin
udevadm hwdb --update
Testing and reboot my system
udevadm --debug test /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0
udevadm --debug test-builtin keyboard /devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0
Parts of the testing result of the last command looks like
device 0x1ce3890 has devpath '/devices/platform/i8042/serio0/input/input0/event0'

Thie last 6 lines seems to be complaining the problem, saying that 0xe038 and 0xe01d are invalid scancodes.
But they are scancodes of rightAlt and rightCtrl respectively, which I got from
showkey -s
After rebooting the system with the above settings, esc works as caps_lock and caps_lock works as esc but rightAlt and rightCtrl has no changes.

Thanks plam and Raynman for your help . Follow your hints, I succeed the swapping key task in an alternative method.
Using the command 'setkeycodes' and adding these commands into a systemd controlled service script, keymaps are exchanged as gdm started.
Here is my script and steps for doing this.
Created a file with filename custom-keys.service under /etc/systemd/system. Add the following context to the file.
[Unit]
Description=Keymap Custom
Requires=gdm.service
After=gdm.service
[Service]
Type=oneshot
ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes 1 58
ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes 3a 1
ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes e01d 100
ExecStart=/usr/bin/setkeycodes e038 97
[Install]
WantedBy=graphical.target
Enable the script so setkeycodes commands will automatically executed when gdm starts
systemctl enable custom-keys
The next time you reboot your system, key changes will take effect. To test if your config works, try
systemctl start custom-keys

[SOLVED] Remapping Razer Naga (and Naga Epic) Buttons

Original Thread Title: Can I remap keys on a single device?
Okay, so I have a Razer Naga Epic here, obviously unsupported by the manufacturer. However, evdev sees the device as two seperate event drivers:
in /dev/input/by-id/:
usb-Razer_Razer_Naga_Epic-event-kbd
usb-Razer_Razer_Naga_Epic-event-mouse
The default mapping of the mouse is set to have the side numbers (1-12) set to 1-0 and then - and = (first row of a standard keyboard, not the numpad equivalent presses)
This becomes problematic when attempting to map the keys to functions in games or different actions in the DE, or any other application.
I'm relatively inexperienced when it comes to remapping keys in X11 or any key remapping in Linux, so its a relatively noob question:
How would I go about remapping the usb-Razer_Razer_Naga_epic-event-kbd keys from the number 0-9 and - and = to nonstandard keys (Fn+0-9, FN+-,= for example, since my system has no Fn key, this would simulate presses normally impossible for me to hit on my keyboard, effectively making this buttons seperate)
I understand that with xmodmap I can change the keys globally (so the keys on my keyboard and mouse would both get changed) but what if I just want to remap the mouse's keys to different buttons?
xinput --list outputs the following:
xinput --list
â¡ Virtual core pointer id=2 [master pointer (3)]
â â³ Virtual core XTEST pointer id=4 [slave pointer (2)]
â â³ Razer Razer Naga Epic id=8 [slave pointer (2)]
â£ Virtual core keyboard id=3 [master keyboard (2)]
â³ Virtual core XTEST keyboard id=5 [slave keyboard (3)]
â³ Power Button id=6 [slave keyboard (3)]
â³ Power Button id=7 [slave keyboard (3)]
â³ Razer Razer Naga Epic id=9 [slave keyboard (3)]
â³ Topre Corporation Realforce 87 id=10 [slave keyboard (3)]
X clearly detects the pointer and button portions of the mouse as two seperate devices. Unfortunately xkeycap (a frontend for xmodmap) confirms my fear that the two devices are handled as one (the virtual core keyboard) as far as X is concerned... I'll have to dig around some more and see if I can figure out how to use the other x keyboard config utils.
I think I may have figured out a relatively simple way, avoiding using xkbcomp and setxkbmap, which are cumbersome. Remembering back to the days when laptop keyboards and such weren't handled as well by evdev, and we had to do funny things with xorg conf files to load special keymaps, I realized that I could make a section for the Naga, and make my own key map file (These files are stored in /usr/share/X11/symbols, in my case I use the us symbols group.)
So my idea is to create a new "naga" symbols group, by editing a copy of the "us" symbols group, which should effectively give me a new keymap for JUST my naga by setting it in xorg.conf to use the naga group. I'll report back whether this works, and mark the thread solved accordingly.
This will not work because of the way evdev assigns itself to devices. I need to make an xkb layout that modifies other layouts, and have it apply itself to the Naga device, I will work on this more later.
Edited: Changed the title to be something more relevant to this particular discussion. Hopefully this will help with people looking for the solution to the same problem!

I have been wrestling with this post for quite some time and thought I would post my findings as well.
Let me start off by saying I think you should go with the above posts first because I have just been fumbling around trying to get this to work and it does. However, I have no experience with this and I do not know if this is the best way to go about the remapping (IE it may be considered pretty ugly).
For some reason, the above method did not seem to work all that well for me. What seemed to be happening was that some (but not all) of my keyboard keys would become unresponsive after applying the fix above. EG the 3, 4, 6 & 9 would not register anything after applying the script(s) above. This seemed to correspond to any of the keys (F15, F16, etc.) that were that were assigned a shortcut in KDE->System Settings->Shortcuts and Gestures. I ran xev and took a look at the output to check things out. When pressing those keys, it seemed like both keys (the keyboard 3 and the naga 3 (remapped to F15)) still had the same scancode but a different mappings and xev appeared to be confused in some way. Anyway, the end result was that the keyboard would not register a 3 when pressed.
So to fix it I went down a level in the remapping process. I created a udev rule, a corresponding keymap, and a ~/.Xmodmap and the problem seems to be solved.
For the TL;DR people with a razer naga first generation you can just place these files in the following direcotries, unplug and reconnect your mouse, issue `xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap` and things may work:
/etc/udev/rules.d/85-razer-naga.rules
/usr/lib/udev/keymaps/razer-naga
~/.Xmodmap
CAUTION: Before you replace the .Xmodmap file, I suggest that you run `xmodmap -pke`. The output is your current key mapping. The ~/.Xmodmap file that I have provided replaces keycodes 191 through 202. Some of those keys maybe be (at least they were for me) special keys that you do not want to replace (IE toggling a touchpad on/off). If you don't have any problem losing anything there (I don't even have those keys) go ahead and replace all the files above and issue `xmodmap ~/.Xmodmap`.
My fix is based on this blog post:
http://stew.vireo.org/blog/posts/Udev_a … keyboards/
I followed that post preciesly only I replaced f13-f24 for all the key codes corresponding to the 1-12 buttons on the naga. Created the rule file and unplugged and replugged my mouse. At that point things did not work. So I re-ran xev to find that the remapping was working but the key codes the naga was spitting out were not the key codes that I was expecting. The scan codes were correct (191-202) but the mapped keycodes were some special keys as stated above (why?, I do not know). So the next step was to force a remapping of the scancode to keycode relationship.
I did this by issuing `xmodmap -pke > ~/.Xmodmap` and generally following the this Archwiki guide.
In the end, I finally got this mouse to work as expected.
Hope this helps.
Have a great day.
-Rick

Remapping keys on tiger

Hey Everyone
About a year ago I spilt water over the keyboard of my Macbook (running os x).
Ever since, the 'o' key has stopped working, and in order to type o's i have to either copy and paste an 'o' using the clipboard, or use a USB external keyboard. As 'o' is a vowel and used in most web addresses (.com, .org etc.) it makes using my mac a nightmare.
I was wondering if you know of a way to either get a new key fitted, or preferably (as I won't have to send away my precious Macbook) map a different key on my keyboard to the 'o' character?
I have tried various programs on the internet for remapping keys in os x, but most of them are designed to map shortcut keys/ key combinations only, for windows users moving to macs, and have found nothing as yet that can do the job.
Anyone know of a way to do this? Please help, it is driving me mad!
Thanks
Will

QuickKeys will, amongh other tricks, allow you to type any desired text on a chosen key combination (so for example alt-command-zero). However it is $80.
Or you may be able to do this in TypeIt4Me which is only $27.

Remap Key for Del Key

I have had the "nice GUI" (as other posts mention) opened. I wanted to get a Del key. I'm using MacBook Pro. How exactly I will do that? The keyboard layout on the GUI (Remap Key) is different from MacBook Pro keypads.
Can someone please outlay step by step instruction? It'd be great if I can remap the lower Enter key (next to right-hand Apple key) into real Del key (in Windows sense)
Thanks!

does anyone know how to do this? i would like to get my right apple key to become a windows delete key, but the enter one would work too... i would really appreciate anyones help!
thanks,

[SOLVED]Remap my menu key in Xorg

Hi, everyone!
I have a menu key of no use on my keyboard, and I want to use it. So I decide to remap it. I want to do this mapping:
menu + 1 => F1
menu + 2 => F2
menu + 3 => F3
menu + 4 => F4
menu + 5 => F5
menu + 6 => F6
menu + 7 => F7
menu + 8 => F8
menu + 9 => F9
menu + 0 => F10
menu + - => F11
menu + + => F12
menu + w => ArrowUp
menu + d => ArrowDown
menu + a => ArrowLeft
menu + d => ArrowRight
menu + j => PageDown
menu + k => PageUp
menu + m => End
menu + , => Home
This means if I press menu key and 1 at once, it equals to F1. It seems that Xmodmap can't be suitable because it can't map combination keys. Do you have any idea of the way to do it?
Thank you.

mod3 + 1
xdotool key --clearmodifiers F1

xdotool key --clearmodifiers Page_Down
mod3 + k
xdotool key --clearmodifiers Page_Up
mod3 + m
xdotool key --clearmodifiers End
mod3 + comma
xdotool key --clearmodifiers Home
And run sxhkd(it's in AUR), see it's working.
Note some part also need fixing.
Greatly thanks for WonderWoofy, Trilby and 2ManyDogs.
EDIT: Now it is completely solved.

[SOLVED] Trying to remap keys in X/GDM/Gnome 3

Hi,
I'm trying to remap my ESC key to the Caps Lock key for more convenience in Vim. I placed the following in ~/.xinitrc and ~/.xprofile:
xmodmap ~/.keymap
I tried both files because I read in the wiki that ~/.xprofile could also be used for this purpose.
The ~/.keymap file looks like this:
! Swap caps lock and escape
remove Lock = Caps_Lock
keysym Caps_Lock = Escape
add Lock = Caps_Lock
If I execute 'xmodmap ~/.keymap' in bash everything works fine. But when I (re-)start the setting is not read. I'm not quite sure if I place the command in the wrong file or if there is a problem with the commands.
I use GDM for login into Gnome 3 activated via systemctl.
Many thanks in advance!
Last edited by pizzapill (2013-12-02 18:22:46)

That specific change to the keymap is supported by the XkbOptions. So there is no need to actually use xmodmap here.
Have a look here. It tells how to get Gnome to respect the XkbOptions using dconf, and interestingly, the specific example is exactly what you are looking for (caps:swapescape).
For more available options, you can check out /usr/share/X11/xkb/rules/base.lst.
Edit: BTW, I know nothing about Gnome, so maybe there is a more Gnome-ish way to handle this. But I also think that if you ever think about using something besides Gnome it would be a good idea to have this as a global setting (ie. /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-evdev.conf).

Upgrading to Firefox 17 on ubuntu linux 10.04 caused my xmodmap remapped keys to not work in Firefox

After upgrading from Firefox 16 (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to Firefox 17 (17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) on 22-November-2012 I no longer can use an xmodmap remapped F key in Firefox. It still works in other gnome programs but pressing the new F key anywhere in Firefox 17 produces no action. I even had to use the gedit program in order to type all this before copying it into the Ask a Question form.
Here is my situation: I use Ubuntu Linux 10.04 LTS on a circa 2004 Sony Vaio notebook pc. I've been using linux on it dating back to Ubuntu 8.04. When I got the used pc the "F" key on the keyboard was broken off. I programmed the .xmodmaprc file in my home folder to initiate the "Keycode 133 = F" command on startup in order to remap the missing key to the unused Windows Logo key on the lower left of the keyboard. This has worked flawlessly for over four years. In all prior versions of Firefox going back to whatever version was included in Ubuntu 8.04 I have had no trouble using this key through all Firefox upgrades until now.
On the morning of 22-Nov-2012 the Update Manager notified me of an upgrade to the following packages as shown in the history log of Synaptic Package Manager:
Commit Log for Thu Nov 22 09:20:16 2012
Upgraded the following packages:
firefox (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
firefox-branding (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
firefox-gnome-support (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
firefox-locale-en (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 17.0+build2-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
ubufox (2.1.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 2.6-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
xul-ext-ubufox (2.1.1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1) to 2.6-0ubuntu0.10.04.1
After performing the upgrade and restarting Firefox I noticed I was no longer able to use my remapped F key at all. I checked other programs and it worked OK so I know it's a Firefox 17 problem only. I tried reinstalling all the packages again with no results. I even went so far as to perform a Reset Firefox in Help-->Troubleshooting Information to try and get it working. All this ended up doing was removing all add-on extensions and changing some of my settings in Preferences but I'm not positive of any changes beyond the Location Bar setting in Privacy changing from Nothing to History and proxy setting going from No to Auto-Detect.
The only solution that has worked to fix this problem is uninstalling Firefox 17 and reinstalling Firefox 16 using a downloaded firefox_16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1_i386.deb file from Ubuntu as Firefox 16 no longer shows up in the main repository since 22-November-2012. The only versions available for a Force Version in Synaptic are 3.6 and 17 now. After downgrading only the firefox package shows version 16.0.2, all other components I listed above stayed at version 17. I don't know if this will cause any other problems but so far nothing bad has happened.
After I submit this question I will be downgrading again to Firefox 16 until this problem can be solved.
Edit: noted the following Language Packs were disabled on restart after downgrading to Firefox 16 again:
English (GB) Language Pack 17.0
English (South Africa) Language Pack 17.0
If my memory is correct I only remember having an English (GB) Language Pack in all prior versions of Firefox. Firefox 17 was the first time I noticed a English (South Africa) Language Pack installed. It's possible the problem with xmodmap keys not functioning in Firefox 17 could be related to something in these two packs.

Ok I tested a bunch of different Firefoxes on my pos linux box.
'''''Worked with xmodmap:'''''
Vanilla 16.0.2,
Vanilla 16.0B6,
Ubuntu Firefox 16.0.2 (16.0.2+build1-0ubuntu0.10.04.1)
'''''Did Not Work with xmodmap:'''''

I have an old Dell Dimension 2400 I plan to use as a replacement for the Sony Vaio when it pops. I've held out as long as possible because it lacks a pci or usb wifi and I really didn't want to run 50 feet of cat5 up a flight of stairs to it. [as i type this i think i remember where a linksys stick for it might be]. Yes I guess it's about time I just do that.
Don't laugh but the reason I held off adding a simple usb keyboard was just lack of space in my tiny bedroom. My setup is on two tray tables side-by-side. Sony Vaio is on left one, my lcd monitor and mouse are on the other. I barely have room to put a cup of coffee on the one with monitor and mouse let alone a full size usb keyboard lol.
Anyway thank you again for all your help.

[SOLVED] Fluxbox keys magic

What I'd like to do seems a little complicated. I've got a laptop here and no USB mouse, and for some games (Most notably Minecraft), I'd like to bind a letter to the right mouse button because using the button on this cheap trackpad is awkward.
It seems I can get what I want just using fluxbox keys, but I'm not sure. I'd like to bind an unused key to execute a script that comments/uncomments another line in keys that binds a letter to right mouse clicks. I'm not quite sure if that's possible, though. Also, I'm relatively new to unix-like OS's so I'm not sure how to implement the script. I'm capable of reading man pages, but if someone could point me to the right direction I'd appreciate it; what utilities are best for this job?
Last edited by Bellum (2011-09-09 08:39:50)

Well, I tried using keymodes but ended up disabling all the default keys. Probably just an error on my part, but I've come up with an alternative solution. It's not as clean, but I just have two keys files and a keybinding to activate a script that switches between the two. Consider my original idea. After giving a cursory glance at sed, it's amazing how quickly I came up with a solution to avoid it. xD
This is solved, anyway. Here is my solution:
keys
Control 163 :MacroCmd {Exec ~/.fluxbox/scripts/keyToMouse.sh} {reconfig}
#None f :ExecCommand xdotool click 3
keys.two
Control 163 :MacroCmd {Exec ~/.fluxbox/scripts/keyToMouse.sh} {reconfig}
None f :ExecCommand xdotool click 3
keyToMouse.sh
#!/bin/bash
mv ~/.fluxbox/keys.two ~/.fluxbox/k
mv ~/.fluxbox/keys ~/.fluxbox/keys.two
mv ~/.fluxbox/k ~/.fluxbox/keys
After all that, I guess it ended up being pretty straightforward.

[SOLVED] remapping keyboard shortcut to paste primary X selection

Procyon wrote:Yeah it's not very solid, you could try xdotool key --clearmodifiers Shift+Insert, but I find that works less well, and also note that when the mouse is out of the text field, middle clicking doesn't paste either (same for pressing shift+insert when the mouse isn't over the terminal).
i already tried the "xdotool key Shift+Insert" variant and it is, as you said, pretty unreliable. one has to press the keyboard shortcut 5 times to paste. the most elegant solution would be of course to hack the X source code, but i have no idea where the shortcut is defined and if i want to recompile X everytime the version is bumped

[SOLVED] LSDP changes Start Page and default printer

Hi!
If I install LSDP two things happen:
1) My Start Page in Internet Explorer gets reset to some old value
2) The setting to change the default printer when I change network is switch off and a fixed printer is set as the default.
Is it possible to disable these annoying features?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

Ok , this is silly. The Lenovo Settings Dependency Package is basis for Lenovo Settings, a Modern style application.
Lenovo Settings includes Location Awareness, with that you can change the default printer, the start page and VPN settings as well as security settings (printer and file sharing, firewall). This excellent feature was availbable under a different name on Windows 7 as well and is just the best thing since sliced bread.
Mystery solved. Ignore W8 location aware default printers and use Lenovo Settings exclusively.
Two remarks though.
1) Documentation of these Lenovo software products is less than ideal. It probably is a chinees thîng. Just look at the sheer number of posts in these forums on this theme. Better documenation would lead to less confusion and irritation and most of all less posts all asking the same question. By the way the new interface of Windows 8 is called Modern not Metro.
2) Yet another app to change settings. Since W8 we have PC Settings and good old Control Panel. Now comes a thrid settings application wich removes settings done with the first two without notice. Why not tie in with the existing applications and include them, for instance, with PC settings? Or at least use the information?
But more important: Document, document. document. All the Readme's are in fact release notes. Release notes are not documentation.

[SOLVED] Function Keys Problem On Dell Inspiron N5010

Yesterday I bought a new laptop (Dell Inspiron N5010) and immediately installed Arch Linux on it. But when I launched the installation framework, I needed to use fdisk to partition my drive manually and to open another tty, ctrl + alt + f2 or up to f7, none of them worked. When I use f4 or f5 for example, it changes the brightness of the screen cause these keys have icons on them which represent the brightness control. So I quitted, took care of that fdisk issue and got back, installed Arch Linux successfully. When launched in GNOME 3, nothing was changed. It still uses f1, f2, ... and so on as "just function keys" without using "Fn" key. It's fine somehow cause my system automatically detected those keys, I can use every single function of my keyboard. But without using Fn key, I can't actually use any fx key for my own use. For example, I can't use Tilda anymore cause when I use only f1, it tries to open monitor control stuff.
So... any ideas?
Edit: It seems that this problem is all about Arch Linux. A friend of mine has the same laptop and he has just tried Mint Debian RC and function keys worked properly. So, there's a problem and it seems it's related to Arch Linux (or maybe Xorg version, somehow?).

I can't tell you how this was helpful. I've never noticed that there was an option in BIOS's Advanced menu for this. I updated it as "Function Key" and it solved my problem, thanks.

[Solved] The "¨^~"-key does not work for me in URxvt in Awesome

Hello.
I can not understand why I can not write e.g. ^ or ~ using the "^¨~"-key on my keyboard (norwegean layout) in URxvt (extra/rxvt-unicode) in Awesome WM (aur/awesome-git).
Although I have tested in other window managers e.g. dwm, and the key works fine in urxvt there, I am not yet sure whether this is a problem in URxvt or Awesome. When I started using Awesome and URxvt some years ago, this was not an issue yet.
I hope someone has a clue as to what is causing this, and/or how it can be fixed.
Regards,

When I first fired up awesome almost a year ago I needed to add
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("setxkbmap -layout de -variant nodeadkeys")
to my rc.lua to make my german keyboard work. While I'm not sure if your current and my past issue are related, I decided to post since setxkbmap wasn't mentioned yet ( In this thread and in the one karol linked to).
Thanks.
I added
awful.util.spawn_with_shell("setxkbmap -layout no -variant nodeadkeys")
at the end of my local rc.lua, and now it works. Yay!

Scan multi-page less convenient in Acrobat Pro 8

Scanning a multi-page document is less convenient in Acrobat Pro 8.
In prior versions when a page had been scanned a dialog box was presented in which the user could simply press Return or Enter to scan another page, or Escape if there were no more pages to scan.
However, in ver. 8, the new dialog box defaults to "no more pages to scan" and if you nee to scan additional pages you have to reach for the mouse and click an alternate radio button, then click another button to scan the additional page(s). Quite a bit more movement required than before.
I realize this is a relatively minor issue, but it's annoying when scanning multi-page documents.

bye
