bionic (8) mk_modmap.8.gz

Provided by: kbd_2.0.4-2ubuntu1_amd64 bug

NAME
       mk_modmap - translate a Linux keytable file into an xmodmap file


SYNOPSIS
       mk_modmap [ -v ] keymap_file


DESCRIPTION
       The  mk_modmap command tries to translate a Linux console keytable file into a file that can be parsed by
       xmodmap, and used within X.  It outputs the results to standard out.

       If the -v flag is used, verbose output is given.

       It requires the X header files to be installed.  (In Debian, these are in the "xlibs-dev" package).


NOTES
       Since XFree version 2.1, X initialises its keymap using the  Linux  keymap,  so  xmodmap  will  often  be
       superfluous.
