XKeyCaps project is a graphical front-end to xmodmap.

It displays a keyboard and lets you remap keys using dialog boxes, rather than having to learn the arcane syntax used by the xmodmap command.

It opens a window that looks like a keyboard; moving the mouse over a key shows what KeySyms and Modifier bits that key generates.

Clicking on a key simulates KeyPress/KeyRelease events on the window of your choice. It is possible to change the KeySyms and Modifiers generated by a key through a mouse-based interface.

This program can also write an input file for xmodmap to recreate your changes in future sessions.

Installing:

# xmkmf ; make ; make install ; make install.man
