I would like your help on the following situation:
Anybody who has worked with oracle forms 6i on solaris on sparc machines with sun keyboard, should know the usefulness of the "dedicated" keys
copy, paste (and cut) that the sun keyboards have. Therefore, working with the same application in 6i oracle forms in Linux, on a PC with a
common/standard pc keyboard, I have been trying to "assign", in some way, the operation of the above keys, to two keys of a standard PC
keyboard, e.g. to the two keys, found immediately to the right of the Right_ALT.
I tried with xmodmap, but with no luck, not even in the gnome-terminal, in gnome (2.20.x) environment that I use. :-(
Has anyone accomplished such a thing? Any advice?

Been way too long since I did this, but as I recall, the secret was to
run a program that shows what each key is generating so you can make
the right x mapping. Just can't quite remember the name of that
program. Mighta been showkey http://www.faqs.org/docs/Linux-HOWTO...-HOWTO.html#s1

Same here, long time ago, but I think I recall Oracle Forms had terminal
files to map keystrokes... something like fmrweb.res.

Wait, just googled and found:


"The default key mappings are different between client/server and web forms.
The standard file used in web-deployed forms
to map keypresses to Forms functions is FMRWEB.RES (located in the FORMS60
directory). This contains key mappings
for the Solaris environment."
