Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Problem getting vertical bar with British keyboard layout on US (physical) keyboard Post 302773749 by DGPickett on Thursday 28th of February 2013 03:56:26 PM

You can make an x keyboard to anything, but I have been spared that education. I have some bits that make my pc numeric keypad work, but every time I sneeze, it flips back! Maybe a function key, or post process in a script to make the function key bytes into a pipe.

Put a 2x2 xterm with a big -fn 12x24 '|' on it in the corner of your desktop, and paste.

Someone should write an X keyboard wizard. Maybe it is out there. Google around! In this age, imagine and google is all you need!

XkbGetGeometry - Loads a keyboard geometry if you already have the keyboard description SYNOPSIS
Status XkbGetGeometry (Display *dpy, XkbDescPtr xkb); ARGUMENTS
- dpy connection to the X server - xkb keyboard description that contains the ID for the keyboard and into which the geometry should be loaded DESCRIPTION

In this case, the geometry returned is the one associated with the keyboard whose device ID is contained in the keyboard description. XkbGetGeometry can return BadValue, BadImplementation, BadName, BadAlloc, or BadLength errors or Success if it succeeds. DIAGNOSTICS
