Colemak in ramdisk
I use LVM on LUKS for full disk encryption, so I have to type my password to decrypt the drive each time I boot the computer. Keyboard layout is QWERTY, but I want Colemak.
Colemak website provides .kmap file, but /usr/share/mkinitrd/keymaps.tar.gz consists of .bmap files. Can I use .kmap? If not, then how do I have Colemak in there? |
Disclaimer: Not my area of expertise.
On my Slackware 15.0, I see an entry for /usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/colemak/en-latin9.map.gz, but no corresponding entry in /usr/share/mkinitrd/keymaps.tar.gz (which is dated 18-Dec-2009 in the source for mkinitrd, so quite old). Busybox has a utility dumpkmap that is available in /boot/initrd-tree/bin/. Perhaps you could try loading a keymap for Colemak, then run something like: Code:
/boot/initrd-tree/bin/dumpkmap > /tmp/en-latin9.bmap and run mkinitrd with the -l option (thanks to Alien Bob!) |
