Recently I got a hp multilingual keyboard very similar to a hp laptop keyboard.
and hit a wall for not figuring how can I use the vertical line key (don’t know the term for this key)
The key I am trying to figure out is in this example
ps ax **|** grep cron
it is the key in red.
I can use the key if I configure the keyboard to use the Canadian french Dvorak
but it will change most of the keyboard layout. Is there any magic key combination to use for that said key to come out
w/out changing the entire layout. Any help will be much appreciated, I have not customize a keyboard layout in my entire life.
Many thanks in advance,
conram
edit for additional info:
openSUSE 12.1 with KDE4.9 and XFCE4.10
Many thanks, got it working.
If this fix will not survive as you said, I am not worried as long as I can remember the command you thought me.
Not many times I will be using this key.
I found a simple way by adding the xfce-keyboard layout panel plugin in the xfce panel.
It’s more easier to switch between US to Canadian and vice versa for using the bar key.lol!
You don’t actually need the quotes, and it’s a good thing when you don’t know where they are. Your plugin probably just executes these commands. You will notice that as soon as you use setxkbmap (even if you don’t change the layout) , any key binding previously defined with xmodmap gets removed.
