22.3 Keyboard Mapping

To standardize the keyboard mapping of programs, changes were made to the following files:

/etc/inputrc 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xmodmap 
/etc/skel/.Xmodmap 
/etc/skel/.exrc
/etc/skel/.less 
/etc/skel/.lesskey 
/etc/csh.cshrc 
/etc/termcap
/usr/lib/terminfo/x/xterm 
/usr/X11R6/lib/X11/app-defaults/XTerm
/usr/share/emacs/<VERSION>/site-lisp/term/*.el

These changes only affect applications that use terminfo entries or whose configuration files are changed directly (vi, less, etc.). Applications not shipped with SUSEĀ® Linux Enterprise should be adapted to these defaults.

Under X, the compose key (multikey) can be accessed using Ctrl + Shift (right). Also see the corresponding entry in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/Xmodmap.

Further settings are possible using the X Keyboard Extension (XKB). This extension is also used by the desktop environments GNOME (gswitchit) and KDE (kxkb).

HINT: For More Information

Information about XKB is available in /etc/X11/xkb/README and the documents listed there.

Detailed information about the input of Chinese, Japanese, and Korean (CJK) is available at Mike Fabian's page: http://www.suse.de/~mfabian/suse-cjk/input.html.
