Appendix B Mapping Traditional Chinese Keyboard Functions

This appendix shows how to configure a Sun Chinese keyboard to make selected key functions when you need them.

The Chinese Type-4 keyboard does not have a Compose key. You can use the xmodmap command to make any key function as Compose. In the following example, the right Meta key is set to function as the Compose key:

system% xmodmap -e "remove mod1 = Meta_R"
system% xmodmap -e "keysym Meta_R = Multi_key" 

See the $OPENWINHOME/share/etc/keytables/Taiwan4.kt file and the xmodmap(1) man page for more information.

The Chinese Type-5 keyboard does not have an AltGraph key. You can use the xmodmap command to make any key function as AltGraph. In the following example, the right Meta key is set to function as the AltGraph key:

system% xmodmap -e "remove mod1 = Meta_R"
system% xmodmap -e "keysym Meta_R = Mode_switch" 

See the $OPENWINHOME/share/etc/keytables/Taiwan5.kt file and the xmodmap(1) man page for more information.
