To define a new layout, copy a current layout in the *layouts*
variable defined in numpad-layouts.lisp and modify the keys that
are non standard. The first element of the alist is the numpad
keycode, the second is a dotted pair of the keycode and modifier state
that the numpad key should represent. In most cases, this will be 16
(just numlock pressed), however if you need to represent a shift+key,
then use 17. If you are unsure of the keycode, use the console program
xev and press the keys in order to get the appropriate code.
The layout name should be a symbol that is the result of:
setxkbmap -query | grep layout | awk '{print $2}'This is so that it will be easy to parse the output of setxkbmap if
someone decides to extend this module to make setting the layout
happen automatically.
Put this in your .stumpwmrc:
(load-module "numpad-layouts")Then, choose a supported layout. If yours doesn’t exist, add it and open a pull request. You can set the layout with:
(numpad-layouts:set-numpad-layout 'us) ; substitute us with the appropriate name
