Network Unix and keyboard

Hi,
I need to set Unix I/O terminal such as once key "," is pressed charcter "." is shown. Do you have any suggesion? The best to me is to accomplish this feauture with an environment variabile if it is possible.

You can change the keymap. The way to change keymap deffers. In Linux, man loadkeys(1)

THe problem is that without an X-term you cannot use mapkey and that kind of stuff ! Any other idea?

There won't be an easy way to this.

A program like vi won't echo a dot when you type a dot. vi manages this by putting the terminal into raw mode. You can write a program like vi that also does this. See "man termios" and "man termio" for details. But, as with vi, you need to put the terminal back the way you found it as you exit. Other programs aren't prepared to handle a raw terminal very well.

If your terminal io is based on STREAMS, it is possible to write a streams module that would do this.

I know it's low-tech, but you could just relabel your keys.
