[HECnet] While we're at it - using an LK464 with Ubuntu...

Just to let people know that the LK464 can be made to work in both standard keyboard layout for use with a PC and also in OpenVMS mode for use via remote decterms/xterms on VMS boxes. I've created two little icons on my command bar that run two scripts to install an xmodmap overlay to use the keyboard for either PC or VMS use. The overlay primarily swaps the functionality of the Find, Insert, Remove and Select keys between what is intuitive in PC mode and what is required when connecting to a VMS box. The Help and Do keys also work, as do PF1,PF3,PF4. PF2 is the only key I haven't got mapped correctly, and I think that's because it is mapped to a window manager functionality (enable/disable trackpad). There might be an automated way to apply keymaps to particular classes of windows, but I could grow old finding the right solution, and clicking on a couple of icons at the top of the screen is hardly arduous, especially as most of the time I'm in one mood or the other. The LK464 OpenVMS modmap file is (PC mode is a straight dump of the default US mapping): keycode 9=grave asciitilde keycode 49 = less greater keycode 199 = KP_F1 keycode 200 = KP_F2 keycode 201 = KP_F3 keycode 202 = KP_F4 keycode 110 = Find keycode 115 = Select keycode 191 = F13 keycode 192 = F14 keycode 142 = F16 keycode 195 = F17 keycode 196 = F18 keycode 197 = F19 keycode 198 = F20 keycode 108 = Alt_R keycode 90 = KP_0 keycode 87 = KP_1 keycode 88 = KP_2 keycode 89 = KP_3 keycode 83 = KP_4 keycode 84 = KP_5 keycode 85 = KP_6 keycode 79 = KP_7 keycode 80 = KP_8 keycode 81 = KP_9 keycode 91 = KP_Decimal keycode 129 = KP_Separator keycode 22 = Delete keycode 119 = 0x1000FF00 Regards, Mark.
