|
|---|
| 33 | \c kmap2qmap is a tool to generate keymaps for use on Embedded Linux.
|
|---|
| 34 | The source files have to be in standard Linux \c kmap format that is
|
|---|
| 35 | e.g. understood by the kernel's \c loadkeys command. This means you
|
|---|
| 36 | can use the following sources to generate \c qmap files:
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| 38 | \list
|
|---|
| 39 | \o The \l {http://lct.sourceforge.net/}{Linux Console Tools (LCT)} project.
|
|---|
| 40 | \o \l {http://www.x.org/}{Xorg} X11 keymaps can be converted to the \c
|
|---|
| 41 | kmap format with the \c ckbcomp utility.
|
|---|
| 42 | \o Since \c kmap files are plain text files, they can also be hand crafted.
|
|---|
| 43 | \endlist
|
|---|
| 44 |
|
|---|
| 45 | The generated \c qmap files are size optimized binary files.
|
|---|
| 46 |
|
|---|
| 47 | \c kmap2qmap is a command line program, that needs at least 2 files as
|
|---|
| 48 | parameters. The last one will be the generated \c .qmap file, while all
|
|---|
| 49 | the others will be parsed as input \c .kmap files. For example:
|
|---|
| 50 |
|
|---|
| 51 | \code
|
|---|
| 52 | kmap2qmap i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap include/compose.latin1.inc de-latin1-nodeadkeys.qmap
|
|---|
| 53 | \endcode
|
|---|
| 54 |
|
|---|
| 55 | \c kmap2qmap does not support all the (pseudo) symbols that the Linux
|
|---|
| 56 | kernel supports. If you are converting a standard keymap you will get a
|
|---|
| 57 | lot of warnings for things like \c Show_Registers, \c Hex_A, etc.: you
|
|---|
| 58 | can safely ignore those.
|
|---|
| 59 |
|
|---|
| 60 | It also doesn't support numeric symbols (e.g. \c{keycode 1 = 4242},
|
|---|
| 61 | instead of \c{keycode 1 = colon}), since these are deprecated and can
|
|---|
| 62 | change from one kernel version to the other.
|
|---|
| 63 |
|
|---|
| 64 | On the other hand, \c kmap2qmap supports one additional, Qt specific,
|
|---|
| 65 | symbol: \c QtZap. The built-in US keymap has that symbol mapped tp
|
|---|
| 66 | \c{Ctrl+Alt+Backspace} and it serves as a shortcut to kill your QWS
|
|---|
| 67 | server (similiar to the X11 server).
