I used unix on Suns first and also used PC's and got sick of trying to remember where the ctrl was. ( Its really annoying to be typing along at high speed, not looking at the screen or keyboard, and hit the caps lock and have to re-type a couple of lines ). So I got sun Type 4's with the ctrl in the bottom left so that I would not have to remember any more... then I started using NCD xterms .. and they have lots of different keyboards.. So .. I wrote that little xmodmap thingy ( and another one called 'hosed_esc' for the stupid keyboards with the esc key inplace of the ~ key. ) I also agree on finding the '\' key above the enter.. I do alot of perl programming and I tend to use that key alot.. it's really annoying to find it between the ctrl and alt! -branson ============================================================================= 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?
