I tried to incorporate the changes that ache finds nessesary for him to use over there. Besides this my litte script for changing all the keymaps got a "little" creative, see I allways had the "<-" key as delete in the danish keymap, that explains that change :-(. I think the consensus of all this would be: backspace aka "<-" key: 0x08 grey delete key: 0x7f (function key 61) keypad ", del" key: function key 61 aka 0x7f if numlock "," Ache you can allways program your keys like you want in the ru keymaps and I'll let "grey delete" be a function key (defaults to 0x7f). Any objections (that I find walid :-), or I'll change this "soon"... -=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=- Soren Schmidt (sos@FreeBSD.org | sos@kmd-ac.dk) FreeBSD Core Team ..
