Changing the keyboard layout for Scientific Linux on a MacBook
Friday, June 5th, 2009I recently installed Scientific Linux in a virtual Machine on my MacBook and ended up with the Standard PC keyboard layout. As the keyboard layout of my MacBook has quite some differences, I tried to figure out how to get all the keys I’m used to.
Here’s what I did (following the advices given here):
- open the file /etc/sysconfig/keyboard and change it (for a german keyboard) as following
KEYBOARDTYPE="mac" KEYTABLE="mac-de-latin1-nodeadkeys"
- for other layouts than the german one have a look at /lib/kbd/keymaps/mac/all/ and choose one of the keytables listed there
