yay.  i found it.  in case you're ever need a visual map of your keyboard,
give the following a try...

xkbprint -color -nkg 2 -lg 1 :0 - | gv -seascape -scale 4 -

naturally the man pages will give you more info regarding the tunable
settings.


cheers,

Subject: X11 keyboard maps


hello all,

while researching keyboard languange mapping, i came across a command which
would present the current layout graphically - keys overlayed with symbols.
unfortunately, i neglected to bookmark the page.

i recall that the image was created was in ps format and was piped into gv
for viewing.  i have looked all over trying to find a way to do this, but
haven't yet had any luck.  if anyone knows how to do this, could you please
let me know?

very much appreciated.


cheers,
epi
