Remapping keyboard/user vis awesome kbdmapping
[edit] vi_'s xkb setup
I use the english layout. All (useful) symbols have been added to the keyboard rendering the blue+ctrl menu redundant. I am a heavy xterm user and would feel crippled without this set-up.
WARNING! This article assumes you have read the main article on remapping keyboard!
Features include:
- F1-F12 on blue+shift+top row
- Tab on blue+return
- escape on Shift+backspace (for some reason 3rd level delete will not work :( )
- Page up/down & home end on arrows without destroying shift highlighting (in fact shift+end works as it should)
- ? moved to fourth level, allowing full stop with fn locked (makes typing in IP addresses easy)
- @ moved to fourth level, allowing use of space when fn locked.
- Euro symbol replaced with tilde (swap to £ if you are euro)
- Fourth level 'k' is '()'
- Fourth level 'Z' and 'x' are '[]'
- Fourth level '!' is '|'
- All useful symbols are now on the fourth row, read the configuration below for details
Substitute the following parts into your rx-51 file. ALWAYS TEST to ensure you have done it right BEFORE rebooting or you WILL end up with an unbootable system.

[edit] xbindkeys!
The following allows:
- fullscreen toggle of any application with ctrl+space
- middle click with blue+stylus down
- right click with shift+stylus down
Put the following in your .xbindkeysrc and launch with:
xbindkeys -f /home/user.xbindkeysrc
NOTE! You also need to install xdotool and wmctrl.
"wmctrl -r :ACTIVE: -b toggle,fullscreen" m:0x4 + c:65 Control + space
"xdotool click 2" m:0x80 + b:1 + release
"xdotool click 3" m:0x01 + b:1 + release
