You don't mention where you want this to happen, but I assume it is on a console, as X usually has this working correctly. But if you do a man kbdcontrol, you can load a keymap with it: kbdcontrol -l us.emacs.kbd for instance. But this one is pretty broken, in that arrow keys stop= working. kbdcontrol -l us.pc-ctrl-kbd is a little better but still some problems. You can copy it into your= directory and edit it yourself, although the syntax is a little odd. Once you get one= you like, you can add it to your /etc/rc.conf: keymap =3D us.emacs.kbd man rc.conf for more info. I hope to post a complete investigation on my FreeBSD weblog. -- Jonathan Arnold (mailto:jdarnold@buddydog.org) Daemon Dancing in the Dark, a FreeBSD weblog: http://jdarnold.tzo.com/FreeBSD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
