| 184450 | 2003-10-18 09:09:00 | Hi all, Got a small problem with Linux. I need to know how to change the keyboard layout from QWERTY UK to QWERTY US, at the moment the pipe character '|' is replaced by a '#'. I'm running Debian Woody. P.S. Theres no windowing sytem installed, so alerting me about the KDE or GNOME control panels will not help immensly. Cheers, Ben |

I had a 5-floppy distribution which installed the Portuguese keyboard layout --- I had to use that to run vi to fix it :_|. (The old DOS books showed me which keys to hit). Have a look in /etc/rc.d for anything appropriate ... maybe "rc.keyboard" . It might have something like loadkeys /usr/lib/kbd/keytables/uk.mapwhich you will change to contain us.map . I have an idea you can make it give the "dead keys" for accents by using xx-latin1.map but most peoople ask how to turn that off. :D |
