keytables

- keyboard table descriptions for loadkeys and dumpkeys

Description

These files are used by loadkeys(1) to modify the translation tables used by the keyboard streams module and generated from those translation tables. See loadkeys(1).

Any line in the file beginning with # is a comment, and is ignored. # is treated specially only at the beginning of a line.

Other lines specify the values to load into the tables for a particular keystation. The format is either:

key number list_of_entries

or

swap number1 with number2

or

key number1 same as number2

or a blank line, which is ignored.

key number list_of_entries

sets the entries for keystation number from the list given. An entry in that list is of the form

tablename code

where tablename is the name of a particular translation table, or all. The translation tables are:

base

entry when no shifts are active

shift

entry when "Shift" key is down

caps

entry when "Caps Lock" is in effect

ctrl

entry when "Control" is down

altg

entry when "Alt Graph" is down

numl

entry when "Num Lock" is in effect

up

entry when a key goes up

All tables other than up refer to the action generated when a key goes down. Entries in the up table are used only for shift keys, since the shift in question goes away when the key goes up, except for keys such as "Caps Lock" or "Num Lock"; the keyboard streams module makes the key look as if it were a latching key.

A table name of all indicates that the entry for all tables should be set to the specified value, with the following exception: for entries with a value other than hole, the entry for the numl table should be set to nonl, and the entry for the up table should be set to nop.

The code specifies the effect of the key in question when the specified shift key is down. A code consists of either:

Examples

Example 1 Example of setting multiple keystations.

The following entry sets keystation 15 to be a “hole” (that is, an entry indicating that there is no keystation 15); sets keystation 30 to do nothing when Alt Graph is down, generate "!" when Shift is down, and generate "1" under all other circumstances; and sets keystation 76 to be the left-hand Control key.

key 15   all hole
key 30   base 1 shift ! caps 1 ctrl 1 altg nop
key 76   all shiftkeys+leftctrl up shiftkeys+leftctrl

Example 2 Exchange DELETE and BACKSPACE keys

The following entry exchanges the Delete and Back Space keys on the Type 4 keyboard:

swap 43 with 66

Keystation 43 is normally the Back Space key, and keystation 66 is normally the Delete key.

Example 3 Disable CAPS LOCK key

The following entry disables the Caps Lock key on the Type 3 and U.S. Type 4 keyboards:

key 119 all nop

Example 4 Standard translation tables for the U.S. Type 4 keyboard

The following specifies the standard translation tables for the U.S. Type 4 keyboard:
