[Smc-discuss] developing a keyboard manager - help needed

[Ashik S]

I thought about it and i think there is a way
1.Whatever it is , it must be loaded as a module along with X
2.It must capture the keystrokes before X does and then send it to X.(it is possible and i am researching on it)..thats why it must be loaded as a module along with X
3.The rest is upto the window manager.I think passing Unicode will help.

Guide me too if u get more info .Have lots a time free
