This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled HID: apple: option to swap the 'Option' ("Alt") and 'Command' to the linux-3.11.y-queue branch of the 3.11.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.11.y-queue If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.11.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Luis ------ From 650355ac3849d8730b234ca797d79d6c7aacc48f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nanno Langstraat <langstr@gmail.com> Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 16:07:15 +0200 Subject: HID: apple: option to swap the 'Option' ("Alt") and 'Command' ("Flag") keys. commit 43c831468b3d26dbe8f2e061ccaf1abaf9cc1b8b upstream. Use case: people who use both Apple and PC keyboards regularly, and desire to keep&use their PC muscle memory. A particular use case: an Apple compact external keyboard connected to a PC laptop. (This use case can't be covered well by X.org key remappings etc.) Signed-off-by: Nanno Langstraat <langstr@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina <jkosina@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques <luis.henriques@canonical.com> --- drivers/hid/hid-apple.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 22 insertions(+) -- 1.8.3.2
