editor, cut off all the surrounding stuff and leave only the stuff between the
" chars. place that after your key definition. not too hard, right?
+about shift and meta characters. to place chars in the shift map, the line
+should consist of two columns. the non-shifted char and the shifted char. for
+example.
+
+0x36 0x46
+
+so, 0x36 shifted is 0x46. and for meta chars. the reason why you have this
+feature is because of languages like german, where you can hold down the
+meta-alt key and enter in other special characters. it's like having
+a second shift. to add chars to this map, you do the following.
+
+m 0x36 0x84
+
+and here, if you hold down the meta-alt and hit the 0x36 key, 0x84 would be
+input. get it?
