This makes things difficult. How were you doing it with Windows? What is marked on your keyboard? > Also is it a good idea to to look at the keys when creating a > keymap?

I can't answer that question. > If you say there is no documentation then, I'm sure there *is* documentation. But I don't know where. You could try searching Yahoo! for 8859-9, for example. > Now I can install Turkish keyboard support on my windows and start to > try the keys to see what characters they are producing with ALT, CTRL > SHIFT, ALT-SHIFT...

For the symbols, you need to check the shifted version, but that's all. In general, the ctrl and alt functions are the same in all keymaps; for example, these lines may get different key numbers, but that is probably all that will change: >> 016 'q' 'Q' dc1 dc1 'q' 'Q' dc1 dc1 C >> 017 'w' 'W' etb etb 'w' 'W' etb etb C Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
