Re: Japanese keyboard: Yen and closing bracket.
Hi ,
I can use Japanese Apple Keyboard .
I use it on Macbook .
My xorg setting is
Section "InputDevice"
Identifier "Generic Keyboard"
Driver "kbd"
Option "CoreKeyboard"
Option "XkbRules" "xorg"
Option "XkbVariant" "jp106"
Option "XkbModel" "jp106"
Option "XkbLayout" "jp"
Option "XkbOptions" "ctrl:nocaps"
EndSection
I can use underscore and bar because of this setting.
