I do not understand keybindings. I do not know how to construct key mapping files that work for people using various GNU systems. For example, I do not know how to read the full key information provided by xev or xkeycaps or showkeys, even though I have read the man pages numerous times. Can anyone else here explain that to you, so you can write good documentation for it? If someone wants to try, that would be nice. Otherwise, please suggest documents for me to read. Best would be documents in Texinfo, then plain text, then HTML, then GhostScript. Please, none in PDF. -- Robert J.
