Nice program. But there are a number of reasons why it's not the one Josh is looking for: 1. It doesn't seem to understand X.org (at least not the version I just installed from the ports collection in /usr/ports/x11/xkeycaps). I get the message: A keyboard type was not specified, and the vendor ID string, "The X.Org Foundation" is not recognized. 2. The real program is xmodmap(1). xkeycaps is just a front end to it, and that's what you need to run when you start X. For example, in my .xinitrc I have: xmodmap -e 'keysym Alt_L = Meta_L Meta_L' xmodmap -e 'keysym Home = Select Select' xmodmap -e 'remove mod5 = Scroll_Lock' You can also put the translations in a file and get xmodmap to read it.
