Re: Getting the <> and | characters to work
Where do they not work? On tty 1, in an xterm? Are you using bash? I don't know where to start trouble shooting this problem, but maybe some more info will help get the ball rolling.
Re: Getting the <> and | characters to work
Hello.
It was in all terminal windows in the Gnome window it did't work. However, after clicking around in the menus, I found in "Applications -> DEsktop preferences -> Keyboard" a set up tool called Keyboard preferences. There, I could selcect layout and Keyboard model. In the model set default for me, the button was not active. When slecting the layout called "Generic 105key (Inlt) PC", this button, showed up and I now have the redirection keys
Thanks for your answer anyway
