Access to the keyboard is through the .Xr wskbd 4 driver. .Pp The .Nm driver supports a number of different key mappings which can be chosen from with the kernel option .Dq UKBD_LAYOUT at compile time or with the utility .Xr wsconsctl 8 (variable: .Dq keyboard.encoding ) at runtime. Other mappings can be used if the whole keymap is replaced by means of .Xr wsconsctl 8 . The built-in mappings are at this time: .Pp .Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact .It KB_BE .Pq be Belgium French. .It KB_BR .Pq br Brazilian. .It KB_CF .Pq cf Canadian French. .It KB_DE .Pq de German with .Dq dead accents . .It KB_DK .Pq dk Danish with .Dq dead accents . .It KB_ES .Pq es Spanish. .It KB_FR .Pq fr French. .It KB_FR | KB_APPLE .Pq fr.apple French for .Tn Apple black USB keyboards. .It KB_HU .Pq hu Hungarian. .It KB_IT .Pq it Italian. .It KB_JP .Pq jp Japanese. .It KB_LA .Pq la Latinamerican. .It KB_LT .Pq \< Lithuanian in .Dq ISO 8859-13 . .It KB_LV .Pq \&lv Latvian .It KB_NL .Pq \&nl Dutch with .Dq dead accents . .It KB_NO .Pq no Norwegian with .Dq dead accents . .It KB_PL .Pq pl Polish in .Dq ISO 8859-2 . .It KB_PT .Pq pt Portuguese. .It KB_PT | KB_APPLE .Pq pt.apple Portuguese for .Tn Apple black USB keyboards. .It KB_RU .Pq ru Russian in .Dq KOI8 . .It KB_SF .Pq sf Swiss French with .Dq dead accents . .It KB_SG .Pq sg Swiss German with .Dq dead accents . .It KB_SI .Pq si Slovenian. .It KB_SV .Pq sv Swedish with .Dq dead accents . .It KB_TR .Pq tr Turkish in .Dq ISO 8859-9 with .Dq dead accents . .It KB_UA .Pq ua Ukrainian in .Dq KOI8 . .It KB_UK .Pq uk British. .It KB_US .Pq us English/US keyboard mapping (default). .It KB_US | KB_DVORAK .Pq us.dvorak English/US keyboard with .Dq Dvorak layout. .El .Pp The KB_DE, KB_DK, KB_NO, KB_SF, KB_SG, KB_SV and KB_TR mappings can be used in the KB_NODEAD .Pq .nodead variant. This switches off the .Dq dead accents . .Pp The KB_BE, KB_FR, KB_FR | KB_APPLE, KB_JP, KB_US and KB_US | KB_DVORAK mappings can be modified to swap the left Control and the Caps Lock keys by the KB_SWAPCTRLCAPS variant bit or the .Dq .swapctrlcaps suffix. .Pp The KB_METAESC .Pq .metaesc option can be applied to any layout. If set, keys pressed together with the ALT modifier are prefixed by an ESC character. (Standard behaviour is to add 128 to the ASCII value.) .Sh EXAMPLES To set a German keyboard layout without .Dq dead accents and sending an ESC character before the key symbol if the ALT key is pressed simultaneously, use .Ic wsconsctl -w keyboard.encoding=de.nodead.metaesc . To set it at kernel build time, add the following to the kernel configuration file: .Bd -literal -offset indent option UKBD_LAYOUT="(KB_DE|KB_NODEAD|KB_METAESC)" .Ed .Sh SEE ALSO .Xr usbhidctl 1 , .Xr intro 4 , .Xr uhidev 4 , .Xr usb 4 , .Xr wskbd 4 , .Xr wsconsctl 8 .Sh HISTORY The .Nm driver appeared in .Nx 1.4 . .Ox support was added in .Ox 2.8 . .Sh BUGS The .Nm driver is brought into action rather late in the boot process, so if it is used as the console driver then .Xr ddb 4 is not usable until late in the boot. .Pp The list of built-in mappings doesn't follow any logic. It grew as people submitted what they needed.
