NAME
     xmakemap - make a keyboard mapping to be used  as  input  to
     xmodmap

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/bin/xmakemap

DESCRIPTION
     xmakemap will produce a keyboard mapping in a form  that  is
     suitable  as  input  to  the  xmodmap(1)  command.  xmakemap
     writes its output to stdout.  Typical usage of  xmakemap  is
     to   redirect   output   from  xmakemap  to  a  file  (e.g.,
     $HOME/.xmodmaprc), edit this file to make necessary customi-
     zations,   and   then   run   xmodmap  on  the  file  (i.e.,
     $HOME/.xmodmaprc).

     For example:


          xmakemap > $HOME/.xmodmaprc
          [... make necessary customization to $HOME/.xmodmaprc ...]
          xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc

     If you would like your keytable to be customized  each  time
     you  start  an  X  session, you should place the appropriate
     command  in  the  session  startup  file  for  your  desktop
     environment.

     For example:


          if [ -f $HOME/.xmodmaprc ]; then
              xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc
          fi

NOTES
     An X server must be running to use xmakemap.
     Read "Notes" in $HOME/.xmodmaprc.
