Description

       The  mk_modmap command tries to translate a Linux console keytable file into a file that can be parsed by
       xmodmap, and used within X.  It outputs the results to standard out.

       If the -v flag is used, verbose output is given.

       It requires the X header files to be installed.  (In Debian, these are in the "xlibs-dev" package).

Name

       mk_modmap - translate a Linux keytable file into an xmodmap file

Notes

       Since XFree version 2.1, X initialises its keymap using the  Linux  keymap,  so  xmodmap  will  often  be
       superfluous.
