KB Layout
xmodmap -pke
xmodmap -e "keycode 127 = p"
-
keycode is the code of the physical button your finger presses.
-
The RHS is the character the OS receives.
xbindkeys
Assign key(s) to an executable or a command with arguments.
-
.xbindkeysrc is the config file. Each bind is two lines. The first line is the command to run, the second line is the keystroke(s) you want to trigger the command.
-
xbindkeys -k then press a key to get its keycode
-
xbindkeys -p (re)load the config file
-
Might need to append + Release to the keystroke line when your command line is an xdotool command.

Anatomy of a KB layout line:
key <AE01> { [ 1, exclam, bar, exclamdown ] };
key <AE04> { [ 4, dollar, asciitilde, dollar ] };
The string inside the key tag:
-
I don't know what the "A" is for.
-
The second letter is the row, counting up from the bottom.
-
The last two characters are the keys position in the row, counting from zero.
The data inside the curly braces:
-
The first field inside the brackets is the default character for the key.
-
The second field inside the brackets is the shifted character for the key.
-
The third and fourth fields inside the brackets are presumably for other modifiers applied to the key.

SETUP
Ubuntu: Add 'export LANG="C"' to ~/.bashrc for old style shell sorting (case sensitive, etc...)
Edit desktop settings to save settings at logout (default was to not
save)
add /archive/scripts to PATH in /etc/profile
might also want to add it in the section of profile that deals with root
ssh
The file /usr/share/dict/words was not installed.
On one Zen install, /ect/rc.d/rc.portmap was executable, on other it
wasn't.
Needs to be executable for nfs to work: chmod 755 rc.portmap
