According to Mike Meyer (October 18, 2001): | You didn't give us enough information to provide an accurate answer, | so all we can do is give suggestions. My apologies for not being specific enough. | If it's an X application, you might check to see if there are | resources that control what you want. That's the easiest method. It comes in two flavors: a console version and an X application. The X application is the one I need to adjust. However, there are no resource files and according to the vendor, the mappings are hardcoded. | If you're running it in an xterm, you can remap the keys in the | xterm. If that screws up everything else, xterm has an option to | change the resource class from XTerm to something else, and you can | remap the keys for *that* resource class, then run your application in | an xterm started that way. Any chance that the xterm remappings are inherited by applications started *from* the xterm? That would be convenient. | If you're *really* desperate, you could run it on an XNest server | (though I get better results with the vnc port), and use modmap on | that X session. Not yet. . . | That's SOP for this forum. Thanks- RDM -- Russell D.
