    Hello, I'm using a German keyboard without Windows keys and I want to use a US English keyboard layout on it. Using smit, I can only switch between 122 key and 'normal' US keyboard layout, but both have problems: the 'normal keyboard' layout does not map the '# key that appears on German keyboards to the backslash/pipe key in the US keyboard. Other than that it works. The 122 key layout does map to the backslash/pipe character, but in return the numpad, arrow keys and the insert/home/pageup/pagedown/end/delete keys have their functions switched around.

    Now I wanted to edit the keyboard layout files in AIX's X11, but I could not find its configuration files (I'm used to Linux). On top of that, I'm worried that if I edit X11's keyboard layout files, the Console Login keyboard layout will not change. How do I change the global keyboard layout under AIX?
