|
47 \c kmap2qmap is a tool to generate keymaps for use on Embedded Linux. |
|
48 The source files have to be in standard Linux \c kmap format that is |
|
49 e.g. understood by the kernel's \c loadkeys command. This means you |
|
50 can use the following sources to generate \c qmap files: |
|
51 |
|
52 \list |
|
53 \o The \l {http://lct.sourceforge.net/}{Linux Console Tools (LCT)} project. |
|
54 \o \l {http://www.x.org/}{Xorg} X11 keymaps can be converted to the \c |
|
55 kmap format with the \c ckbcomp utility. |
|
56 \o Since \c kmap files are plain text files, they can also be hand crafted. |
|
57 \endlist |
|
58 |
|
59 The generated \c qmap files are size optimized binary files. |
|
60 |
|
61 \c kmap2qmap is a command line program, that needs at least 2 files as |
|
62 parameters. The last one will be the generated \c .qmap file, while all |
|
63 the others will be parsed as input \c .kmap files. For example: |
|
64 |
|
65 \code |
|
66 kmap2qmap i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap include/compose.latin1.inc de-latin1-nodeadkeys.qmap |
|
67 \endcode |
|
68 |
|
69 \c kmap2qmap does not support all the (pseudo) symbols that the Linux |
|
70 kernel supports. If you are converting a standard keymap you will get a |
|
71 lot of warnings for things like \c Show_Registers, \c Hex_A, etc.: you |
|
72 can safely ignore those. |
|
73 |
|
74 It also doesn't support numeric symbols (e.g. \c{keycode 1 = 4242}, |
|
75 instead of \c{keycode 1 = colon}), since these are deprecated and can |
|
76 change from one kernel version to the other. |
|
77 |
|
78 On the other hand, \c kmap2qmap supports one additional, Qt specific, |
|
79 symbol: \c QtZap. The built-in US keymap has that symbol mapped tp |
|
80 \c{Ctrl+Alt+Backspace} and it serves as a shortcut to kill your QWS |
|
81 server (similiar to the X11 server). |
