I also have problems with hotspot not working properly so I installed simple and reliable linux-wifi-hotspot. You can find it in Software Manager.

Remove file /home/usr/bin/keyboardmapping.sh.
Run this command in terminal and restart the computer:

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i \
-e '17s|.*|key<BKSP>{[Caps_Lock]};|' \
-e '22s|.*|key<CAPS>{[BackSpace,BackSpace]};|' \
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc \
&& sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xkb-data

LM 21.1 doesn't use isolinux. In EFI and BIOS mode it shows a grub menu.

XKB has the option of setting keys to display alternate glyphs in both levels and groups; however the Cinnamon Keyboard app only deals with levels. Groups are keyboard layouts. You can have up to 4 groups which can be used at once without XKB reconfiguration. Changing the group means changing for e...

The book refers to a Multi_Key. Where might I find such on a Dell PC 104-key keyboard? Multi Key (also called Compose Key) This is a special key on PC keyboards usually assigned to the right Windows Key, which allows typing accented characters by entering a character corresponding to some accent an...

To undo remapping reinstall xkb-data package:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xkb-data

Run this command in terminal and restart the computer. It will remap the ENTER-key to the right shift button.

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i '29s|.*|key<RTSH>{[Return]};|' \
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc \
&& sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data

How many files should break the system before the use of Timeshift is justified?

In-case that causes any unforeseen problems and because it's global, I would recommend that the next time you suggest this you also include a process to back up the file, such as by using `-i` to do so — see sed(1) for more information. It's often just good practice for future reference, especially...

You won't have any problems. The remapping you applied is very basic and safe. I test everything before posting. If you want to restore the file just reinstall xkb-data:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install --reinstall xkb-data

Run this command in terminal and restart the computer: sudo sed -i \ -e '10s|.*|key<AE04>{[4,dollar,EuroSign]};|' \ -e '22s|.*|key<AD03>{[e,E,egrave,eacute]};|' \ -e '26s|.*|key<AD07>{[u,U,ugrave]};|' \ -e '27s|.*|key<AD08>{[i,I,igrave]};|' \ -e '28s|.*|key<AD09>{[o,O,ograve]};|' \ -e '33s|.*|key<AC...

The dollar symbol will be replaced by euros.
Which letters/keys do you want to use for AltGr+(è,é,ò,à,ù)?

I tried some remapping of keyboard layout without AutoKey. If you run this command in terminal and restart the computer you will have: PrtScr = Home Shift+PrtScr = End sudo sed -i \ -e '67s|.*|key<PRSC>{[Home,End]};|' \ -e '68s|.*||' -e '69s|.*||' -e '70s|.*||' \ /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pc \ &...

Try to use the Fn key with the arrow keys:
Fn+Left/Right = Home/End
Fn+Up/Down = PageUp/Down

What's your keyboard layout and LM version?
