I can only open /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gb read-only
Have you tried this as superuser?
Try sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gb or whatever your editor of choice is
sudo nano /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/gb
That does work, yes! Thank you.
But how do I save and exit? "^X" = exit but how do I enter that? I can't even summon help, because that's "^G".
Does "^" represent shift or control or alt or something?
<ctrl>
Yeah, ^ is the ctrl key. Ctrl-O to save, Ctrl-X to exit
^
ctrl
