📦 version 0.7.8, in debian bookworm, ubuntu jammy, ubuntu noble

✨ NAME ✨

directvnc-xmapconv — the lil script that makes directvnc's xmodmap keyboard layout files 💖

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

directvnc-xmodmap

🦋 DESCRIPTION 🦋

okay bestie, here's the tea: directvnc-xmapconv reads an xmodmap syntax file from standard input, and writes the directvnc compatible syntax file out to standard output. that's it. that's the whole vibe. 💅

and like, the way it does it?? inside, the script runs its standard input through the C preprocessor, and it includes the keysymdef.h file, and it prepends every single keysym identifier with XK_. iconic behavior honestly. 🔥

fun fact no cap: the directvnc keyboard layout file mentioned earlier was produced exactly this way — straight out of the xmodmap file for Cyrillic input. so yeah, this script has lore. 👑
