However, I couldn't make it run on my system; perhaps it only works
for earlier Mathematica-versions than 3.0, but possibly it helps somebody.
My question: Is there a similar way in V.3.0 to (re)define keys in
initialisation-files of the Mathematica-system? > > I propose another

fix the problem: Run ''loadkeys us'' on your Linux command-line as
root and then start ''X'' and Mathematica as user. Now you will have
an fine-working US-keyboard until you run the loadkeys-system-tool
again with another keytable option (e.g. ''de-latin1'' for german
keybords) (...or restart your machine). Disadvantage: You have to
learn the new keyboard-mapping, other applications will have an US-keyboard,

mathematica 3.0 for students on my linux 2.0.x system, i tryed the
modification of the xmodmap, and it works fine. for using all keys
on my german keyboard (including the german umlaute), i (additionaly)
modifyed the event translation file /usr/local/mathematica/SystemFiles/FrontEnd/TextResources/KeyEventTranslations.tr
by inserting Item[KeyEvent[udiaeresis],FrontEndExecute[{ FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`SelectedNotebook[],
''ü'', After]}]], Item[KeyEvent[Udiaeresis],FrontEndExecute[{ FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`SelectedNotebook[],
''Ü'', After]}]], Item[KeyEvent[adiaeresis],FrontEndExecute[{ FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`SelectedNotebook[],
''ä'', After]}]], Item[KeyEvent[Adiaeresis],FrontEndExecute[{ FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`SelectedNotebook[],
''Ä'', After]}]], Item[KeyEvent[odiaeresis],FrontEndExecute[{ FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`SelectedNotebook[],
''ö'', After]}]], Item[KeyEvent[Odiaeresis],FrontEndExecute[{ FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`SelectedNotebook[],
''Ö'', After]}]], Item[KeyEvent[ssharp],FrontEndExecute[{ FrontEnd`NotebookWrite[FrontEnd`SelectedNotebook[],
''ß'', After]}]], in the EventTranslation list. the ''udiaeresis''
is the symbol mathematica gets, when pressing ü (look at te x enviroment
information->find keys and modifyers, if this doesen't work). hope
this helps bye
