ARRRGHHHH... this comming from somone that uses unix on PC keyboards.... You foul miscreant, you purporter of heathen ideology, read the sacred writings on the wall and repent! |---- The Wall ---- | |The ctrl key belongs in the bottom left corner .. next to alt and |under shift! | |Just like the Esc belongs in the top left and tilde under it and |backspace on the right hand side of the '=/+' key! | |-- End of The Wall -- But this is what i do in any case, as the caps lock is rather useless on a unix system: xmodmap -e "remove lock = Caps_Lock" xmodmap -e "add control = Caps_Lock" Problem solved.. no matter where you 'expect it to be. However a real question: Has anyone used those mouse pad thingys ( the one that you use your finger on ) with X? I was wondering if it is useful. -branson PS> The worst keyboard I have yet to see is the HP version with the itty bitty enter key and the escape next to it?!?! ============================================================================= Branson Matheson | Ferguson Enterprises | If Pete and Repeat were System Administrator | W: (804) 874-7795 | sittin on a fence and Pete Unix, Perl, WWW | branson@widomaker.com | fell off, who is left?
