We could use xmodmap to remap keys in ubuntu.
First, generate the current keycode map:
xmodmap -pke > .Xmodmap

$ xkbcomp /home/user/.xkbmap ":0"
Error: Cannot open display ":0"

Gave up on terminal. Unsure what the command ":0" is supposed to do. I read this article- linuxuprising.com/2020/12/remap-ke...
Then I installed input-mapper- github.com/sezanzeb/input-remapper
Got this funky UK keyboard on a Starbook laptop with a narrow left hand shift key where there is an extra ">" less than key which I changed to be an additional left shift key. Now I can type at a normal speed again.
Running- Pop!_OS 21.10 x86_64 on a Starbook-mk-v
Thanks for the efforts. Couldn't get it to work for me.
Pop OS use display ":1"
Thanks for this
Nice, you can also use the xdotool/AutoKey combo which I've been using for many years and have been planning a tutorial for it.
Actually it'll be for window management as well with wmctrl.
I'll also be doing one on AutoHotkey in Windows.
Hello, I can get to remap colon and semicolon keys to same key?
yes you can
When I done the steps from that tutorial my Ubuntu didn't booting. I had to change the modifications that I made via the safe mode boot.
Well i do it this way:
Assigned hyphen, to another key. Only this. Now, normal key press prints hyphen + when I shift press that key, I get underscore too.
Right now _ - I just typed using those keys.
Better to try and test, before making them permanent.
Just loved your tutorial!
The process is simpler now, with input-remapper.
I made a guide for remapping a mac-style layout, if anyone is interested.
Saved my day. Had keys that had stopped working.
million dollar's article, man !
I'm having trouble setting it as a startup aplication. I am able to succesfully edit .Xmodmap but I cant make xkbcomp /home/user/.xkbmap ":0" work.
Can I change Ctrl + C to Alt? And how can I do that?
Thanks.
I just have only one thing to say: Thank you so much!
