Keyboard key re-mapping.

[The Linuxator]

I am used to my Thinkpad's ctrl key postion and I want ot remap the winkey as Ctrl so that way I disable the left Ctrl and move it to the winkey, or maybe have both of them as Ctrl keys

I want to do this in both Fedora Core 4 and Win Xp pro (at work)

I've never tried this, but it might work (search for setkeycodes).

It looked like setkeycode is a program you run, not a text file you edit. Stuff in /usr/bin should be executables, and configs should be in /etc.

Try file /usr/bin/setkeycode to make sure though.

Have you read the relevant man pages? It looks like there's one in sections 1 and 8 although that 1 looks like it might be a typo.
