xmakemap - make a keyboard mapping to be used as input to xmodmap xmakemap

xmakemap will produce a keyboard mapping in a form that is suitable as input to the xmodmap (1) command. xmakemap writes its output to stdout. Typical usage of xmakemap is to redirect output from xmakemap to a file (e.g., $HOME/.xmodmaprc), edit this file to make necessary customizations, and then run xmodmap on the file (i.e., $HOME/.xmodmaprc).

For example:

\fLxmakemap > $HOME/.xmodmaprc
[... make necessary customization to $HOME/.xmodmaprc ...]
xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc

If you would like your keytable to be customized each time you start an X session, you should place the appropriate command in the session startup file for your desktop environment.

For example:

\fLif [ -f $HOME/.xmodmaprc ]; then
 xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc
fi

 NOTES
An X server must be running to use
 xmakemap . 

Read "Notes" in $HOME/.xmodmaprc.
