NAME
       xmakemap - make a keyboard mapping to be used as input to xmodmap

SYNOPSIS
       /usr/bin/xmakemap

DESCRIPTION
       xmakemap	 will produce a keyboard mapping in a form that is suitable as
       input to the xmodmap(1) command.	 xmakemap writes its output to stdout.
       Typical usage of xmakemap is to redirect output from xmakemap to a file
       (e.g., $HOME/.xmodmaprc), edit this file to make	 necessary  customiza‐
       tions, and then run xmodmap on the file (i.e., $HOME/.xmodmaprc).

       For example:

	      xmakemap > $HOME/.xmodmaprc
	      [... make necessary customization to $HOME/.xmodmaprc ...]
	      xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc

       If you would like your keytable to be customized each time you start an
       X session, you should place the	appropriate  command  in  the  session
       startup file for your desktop environment.

       For example:

	      if [ -f $HOME/.xmodmaprc ]; then
		  xmodmap $HOME/.xmodmaprc
	      fi

NOTES
       An X server must be running to use xmakemap.
       Read "Notes" in $HOME/.xmodmaprc.
