use Emacs keyboard layout under ArchLinux console

2013-01-25 18:04 | Source

Switching CAPS and let CTRL key is not good enough. I want to say bye to CAPS key forever.

A piece of cake actually!

ArchLinux have already prepared the keyboard configuration for me. All I need is enable it.

Add following line into /etc/vconsole:

KEYMAP=emacs2

Then enable the keyboard:

sudo loadkeys emacs2

DONE!
