[SOLVED] Key Mapping

[Pedro Laia]

Hello...
I'm new to Linux
I wanted to change two keys in my keyboard, I installed "Input Remapper" but I'm not been able to change the keys
I wanted to change the key "º" to "~" and vice-versa.
My keyboard layout is in portuguese.
Is it better to use this app or is it better other solution ?
Thanks !

Run this command in terminal and restart the computer:

Code: Select all

sudo sed -i \
-e '15s|.*|key<BKSL>{[masculine,dead_circumflex,dead_grave,dead_breve]};|' \
-e '18s|.*|key<AC11>{[dead_tilde,ordfeminine,dead_circumflex,dead_caron]};|' \
/usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/pt && sudo dpkg-reconfigure xkb-data

It is X Keyboard Extension. If you're interested how it works search for "xkb", starting with this website: http://www.x.org/wiki/XKB/

I'm sorry, but how do I revert this ? I had to change the keyboard, since I wasn't able to adjust to it, it had many faults, and now the new one is "normal" and it doesn't have this weird layout.

Sorry for the trouble.
