18.3 Keyboard Mapping
To standardize the keyboard mapping of programs, changes were made to the
following files:
/etc/inputrc
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xmodmap
/etc/skel/.Xmodmap
/etc/skel/.exrc
/etc/skel/.less
/etc/skel/.lesskey
/etc/csh.cshrc
/etc/termcap
/usr/lib/terminfo/x/xterm
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm
/usr/share/emacs/<VERSION>/site-lisp/term/*.el
These changes only affect applications that use terminfo
entries or whose configuration files are changed directly
(vi, less, etc.). Applications
not shipped with SUSE® Linux Enterprise should be adapted to these defaults.
Under X, the compose key (multikey) can be accessed
using Ctrl + Shift
(right). Also see the corresponding entry in
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xmodmap.
Further settings are possible using the X Keyboard Extension (XKB). This
extension is also used by the desktop environments GNOME (gswitchit) and KDE
(kxkb).
HINT: For More Information
Information about XKB is available in
/etc/X11/xkb/README and the documents listed there.
Detailed information about the input of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK)
