- keyboard table descriptions for loadkeys and dumpkeys
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:
entry when no shifts are active
entry when "Shift" key is down
entry when "Caps Lock" is in effect
entry when "Control" is down
entry when "Alt Graph" is down
entry when "Num Lock" is in effect
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:
A character, which indicates that the key should generate the given character. The character can either be a single character, a single character preceded by ^ which refers to a "control character" (for instance, ^c is control-C), or a C-style character constant enclosed in single quote characters ('), which can be expressed with C-style escape sequences such as \r for RETURN or \000 for the null character. Note that the single character may be any character in an 8-bit character set, such as ISO 8859/1.
A string, consisting of a list of characters enclosed in double quote characters ("). Note that the use of the double quote character means that a code of double quote must be enclosed in single quotes.
One of the following expressions:
the key is to be the left-hand "Shift" key
the key is to be the right-hand "Shift" key
the key is to be the left-hand "Control" key
the key is to be the right-hand "Control" key
the key is to be the "Alt" shift key
the key is to be the "Alt Graph" shift key
the key is to be the "Caps Lock" key
the key is to be the "Shift Lock" key
the key is to be the "Num Lock" key
the key is to be the "Stop" key in SunView; this is normally the L1 key, or the SETUP key on the VT100 keyboard
the key is to be the "meta" key. That is, the "Left" or "Right" key on a Sun-2 or Sun-3 keyboard or the "diamond" key on a Sun-4 keyboard
the key is to be the "Compose" key
on the "VT100" keyboard, the key is to transmit the control-Q character (this would be the entry for the "Q" key in the ctrl table)
on the "VT100" keyboard, the key is to transmit the control-S character (this would be the entry for the "S" key in the ctrl table)
on the "VT100" keyboard, the key is to be the "No Scroll" key
the key is to be the "up arrow" key
the key is to be the "down arrow" key
the key is to be the "left arrow" key
the key is to be the "right arrow" key
the key is to be the "home" key
the key is to be the acute accent "floating accent" key
the key is to be the cedilla "floating accent" key
the key is to be the circumflex "floating accent" key
the key is to be the grave accent "floating accent" key
the key is to be the tilde "floating accent" key
the key is to be the umlaut "floating accent" key
this is used only in the Num Lock table; the key is not to be affected by the state of Num Lock
the key is to be the "0" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "1" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "2" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "3" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "4" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "5" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "6" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "7" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "8" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "9" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "." key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "Enter" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "+" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "-" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "*" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "/" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "=" key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the "," (separator) key on the numeric keypad
the key is to be the left-hand function key n
the key is to be the right-hand function key n
the key is to be the top function key n
the key is to be the "bottom" function key n
the key is to do nothing
this code indicates an internal error; to be used only for keystation 126, and must be used there
this code indicates that the keyboard is idle (that is, has no keys down); to be used only for all entries other than the numl and up table entries for keystation 127, and must be used there
this key exists, but its action is not defined; it has the same effect as nop
this code indicates that the keyboard has just been reset; to be used only for the up table entry for keystation 127, and must be used there.
exchanges the entries for keystations number1 and number2.
sets the entries for keystation number1 to be the same as those for keystation number2. If the file does not specify entries for keystation number2, the entries currently in the translation table are used; if the file does specify entries for keystation number2, those entries are used.
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:
