Re: How to create a keyboard?

[Noah Levitt <nlevitt columbia edu>]

xkb is the way to do this. Create a symbols file and put it
in /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb/symbols/pc. You can look at the
other files in that directory for examples. Set your
keyboard to use that layout with setxkbmap, e.g.

  setxkbmap -option "grp:shift_toggle" -layout "en,bo"

where "bo" is the new symbols file. Toggle between the
English and Tibetan layouts by pressing lshift+rshift.
Hopefully this is enough to get you started.
