There will be a bit of reorganization in share/syscons/keymaps in -current. It will be done in two stages: Stage 1: Correct inconsistency among keymap files and fixe minor gliches - Define CTL-ALT-ESC as the `debug' key sequence in all keymaps. (FAQ mentions this key sequence.) Some keymaps already have it, the others don't. It is NOP if the kernel isn't compiled with the kernel debugger. - Define CTL-SPACE to generate NUL. Again only some keymaps have this. - Define CTL-ALT-SPACE as the `suspend' key sequence in all but Russiun keymaps. (Some keymaps had typo: numerical value 135 is written instead of the `suspend' keyword.) This sequecne will be NOP if the apm driver is not installed or disabled. - Fix Japanese keymaps. - Remove accent (dead) key definitions from spanish.iso.kbd, fr.iso.kbd and icelandic.iso.kbd. Create spanish.iso.acc.kbd, fr.iso.acc.kbd and icelandic.iso.acc.kbd with accent key definitions instead. - Update INDEX.kbdmap for kbdmap(1). - Update keymap menus in release/sysinstall. [At this point, I intend to merge dead key support (in syscons and kbdcontrol) and modified keymap files from the -current to the -stable branch.] Stage 2: ALL keymap files will be renamed so that they conform to more canonical naming convention The new name will look <lang>_<area>.<char_set>[.<option>][.acc].kbd For compatibility reasons, there will be symlinks between the new and old file names. INDEX.kbdmap and sysinstall menus will be updated too. Kazuhome | help
