Advanced part
Modify kaybindings for swing apps in case non russian layout
If you want another mapping you can create it by yourself:
- run any app with java vm option
-javaagent:[path]/LinuxJavaFixes-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar=print - after that utily begin print to console entered symbol codes using format
XKeysymPatchAgent.keysym=[hex code]
- then create file using format
[hex code]=[latin code of the same button]
Example:
6ca=Q
6c3=W
etc.
- replace hex codes wuth yours
- use following option to run app with custom mapping:
-javaagent:[path to directory with jar files]/LinuxJavaFixes-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar=[your mapping file]
Modify keybindings for swt in case non russian layout
- add following line to eclipse.ini
-javaagent:[path]/LinuxJavaFixes-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar=swt:print
- then grab codes and create properties file with mapping
[your locale key]=[latin key]
- then run eclipse wuth following config
-javaagent:[path]/LinuxJavaFixes-1.0.0-SNAPSHOT.jar=swt:[path to your mapping file]
