Setting up new characters on a keyboard
by dilbert_uk from LinuxQuestions.org on (#554TP)
I have a Spanish keyboard that misses the characters "<" and ">". Even with AltGr, I am getting characters like "" and "", but the character for "greater" and "minor" are actually missing.
The keyboard is a Cybertel CVB K107, but on the Web, I find other descriptions with the same model name and even the packaging it came with shows another photo where actually keys for "greater" and "minor" can be seen.
As I like this keyboard for its small size and the characters for foreign languages like c and a, I only would like to have a simple key combination like CTRL-2 or so which would print "<", e.g.
I found a plethora of all sorts of info about xfce and keyboards, but unfortunately nothing about how to simply set up a new character with the ALT or CTRL key or any other keys suitable for that.
Add the moment, I help myself with the program xvkbd, where I select the ">" key with the mouse. But that's cumbersome for command line editing.
