[Linux] Bind/map Character to alt+[some key]?
- by Paul
OS: Ubuntu
In programming and various terminal programs (Screen, Vim) the [, ], { and } tends to be used a lot. I'm using a Norwegian keyboard where these are placed such that I have to stretch my fingers a bit too long for whats comfortable. To make it easier I though I'd try to make alt+[some key] be one of these characters. Is there a way that I can bind, say alt+æ (Norwegian letter) to '{' system wide?
Btw, is such thing called binding, mapping or something else? I'm getting a bit confused by the terms... :)
