Missing Keys On The Zaurus

[jgrauman]

Thank you all for your patient replies to all my newbie questions... Got a couple more. I have a C1000 and am wondering how to use keys that are not on my keyboard such as ALT, ESC, F1-F10, etc. Also, I'm wondering if all the Japanese keys (and Japanese combos such as Fn-6) can be assigned to useful keys. And, am I correct that holding the Fn key while tapping with the stylus is a right click? Thanks, and if this has been answered already please refer me to the post(s).

ESC is the [X] (Cancel) button.

The CTRL, ALT & mouse button settings can be configured using the "Input Setting" program.

, F1-F10,

To enable the F1-F10 keys you'll probably need to edit /etc/X11/kb/XXX.xmodmap where XXX is your machine (eg for C3100 it's 'akita') and add these lines:

Code: [Select]

keycode 49 = 1 exclam     F1
keycode 50 = 2 quotedbl   F2
keycode 51 = 3 numbersign F3
keycode 52 = 4 dollar     F4
keycode 53 = 5 percent    F5
keycode 54 = 6 ampersand  F6
keycode 55 = 7 apostrophe F7
keycode 56 = 8 parenleft  F8
keycode 57 = 9 parenright F9
keycode 58 = 0 asciitilde F10
If the lines are already there but are commented out (ie have an ! at the beginning) then uncomment them by removing the !.

You may need to restart X for changes to take effect.

NB that enabling the F1-F10 keys may have undesirable effects on some programs, see my post here: https://www.oesf.org/forums/index.php?showtopic=16220

And, am I correct that holding the Fn key while tapping with the stylus is a right click?

Yes, unless you've changed it via "Input Setting"
