Many years ago, I put together a configuration which allowed many of my
users to use the Jed editor in EDT emulation mode. The configuration
consisted of a VT100 translation table for the xterm application that
made use the of PC keypad as an almost 1-1 map of the VT100 keypad.
(The PC keypad has a single large + key while the VT100 keypad has 2
keys at this coordinate).
The trick to this configuration was remapping the NumLock key with
xmodmap. I used xmodmap to translate NumLock to an unused X keycode, in
particular, KP_Equal. The xterm VT100 translation table then mapped
KP_Equal to the Gold Key.
I'm unable to do this with SL4x. Xmodmap's at X session startup are
ignored. Apparently, one needs to use the newer XKeyboard mechanism to
remap keys. I can remap it interactively after I'm logged in. I took a
stab at understanding XKeyboard, but it is poorly documented, at least,
from a simple users' perspective.
I am hoping someone on this list has some suggestions. I suggested
folks quit using Jed, but that didn't get me anywhere. ;)
