The pckbd
driver supports a number of
different key mappings which can be chosen from with the kernel option
PCKBD_LAYOUT
at compile time or with the utility
wsconsctl(8) (variable:
“encoding”) at runtime. Other mappings can be used if the
whole keymap is replaced by means of
wsconsctl(8). The builtin
mappings are at this time:
option | wsconsctl | language |
KB_US |
us | English/US keyboard mapping (default) |
KB_UK |
uk | English/UK keyboard mapping |
KB_BE |
be | Belgian |
KB_CZ |
cz | Czech (QWERTY) |
KB_DK |
dk | Danish with “dead accents” |
KB_NL |
nl | Dutch |

KB_US|KB_DECLK |
us.declk | English/US mapping for DEC |
LK400-style keyboards with PC keyboard | ||
interface (e.g., LK461) | ||
KB_US|KB_DVORAK |
us.dvorak | English/US keyboard with |
“Dvorak” layout | ||
KB_US|KB_COLEMAK |
us.colemak | English/US keyboard with |
“Colemak” layout |
The KB_DE
, KB_DK
,
KB_NO
and KB_SV
mappings can
be used in the KB_NODEAD
( “.nodead”)
variant. This switches off the “dead accents”.
The KB_US
, KB_JP
and KB_US|KB_DVORAK
mappings can be modified to swap
the left CTRL and the CAPS LOCK keys by the
KB_SWAPCTRLCAPS
variant bit or the
“.swapctrlcaps” suffix.
The KB_METAESC
( “.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.)
Because PC keyboard hardware doesn't contain a beeper, requests for “keyboard beeps” cannot be handled directly. On alpha and i386 a helper device attached to the pcppi(4) driver allows the use of the standard ISA speaker for this purpose. On acorn32, vidcaudio(4) performs this function.
wsconsctl
-w
encoding=de.nodead.metaesc.
To set it at kernel build time, add
options
PCKBD_LAYOUT="(KB_DE
| KB_NODEAD
|
KB_METAESC)"
