Re: [SCRIPT CORRECTED] Xmodmap intra and inter-systems woes

[tlaronde%polynum.com@localhost]

There was a blunder in the previous script: redirection not in the right
place.

Please find below the corrected version:

-----8<----
#!/bin/sh
# C) 2020 Thierry Laronde <tlaronde%polynum.com@localhost>

: ${TMPDIR:=/tmp}

cat <<EOT >&2
When the window will appear, click first in the xterm
and then in the window (the square in the blank window).

You can then start to press Meta keys: "Windows",
Alt, AltGr, arrows, home, end, page up, page down...
so that we can generate the xmodmap rules.

Press any key to start. Kill the xev window when done.
