KBMAP(1) KBMAP(1)
NAME
kbmap - show a list of available keyboard maps and switch
between them.
SYNOPSIS
kbmap [ file... ]
DESCRIPTION
Kbmap shows a single column consisting of the names of key-
board maps for different alphabets available on the system.
With no arguments kbmap will look for files in
/sys/lib/kbmap.
Clicking the right mouse button will highlight the entry and
force the keyboard mapping defined in the corresponding file
to become current for the system; typing 'q' quits.
Kbmap requires that the file /dev/kbmap served by kbdfs(8)
exists and is writable.
SOURCE
/sys/src/cmd/kbmap.c
SEE ALSO
kbdfs(8)
BUGS
Not all keyboards map the entire set of characters, so one
has to switch back to the default map before changing to
another.
