Now, while looking at the file /sys/src/cmd/usb/hid/kbd.c I was trying to enter the pound sign # while holding Alt Gr key and pressing the "3" key but it just gave me the character "3". On a French PC Keyboard certains characters are obtained by pressing simultaneously the Alt Gr key (right after the space bar) and the following upper keyboard keys : Pressing & holding Alt Gr With Gives My=20 "Translation" 2 ~ T= ild 3 # =20 Pound Sign 4 { =20 Open brace 5 [ =20 Open Square Bracket 6 | =20 Pipe sign 7 ` =20 Apostophe 8 \ =20 Back Slash 9 ^ =20 Control Character 0 @ =20 Elephant's Ear =B0 ] = =20 Closing Square Bracket + } =20 Closing brace Is there any thing that I may do wrong or may do differently for now on to have all these characters available for modifying the kdb.c file for example ? Thanks for any clue. Philippe //
