wskbd
driver handles common tasks for keyboards
within the wscons(4) framework.
It is attached to the hardware specific keyboard drivers and provides their
connection to “wsdisplay” devices and a character device
interface.
The common keyboard support consists of:
<dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h>
).The wskbd
driver provides a number of
ioctl functions to control key maps and other parameters. These functions
are accessible though the associated
wsdisplay(4) device as
well. A complete list is in
<dev/wscons/wsconsio.h>
. The
wsconsctl(8) utility allows
to access key maps and other variables.
The console
locator in the configuration
line refers to the device's use as input part of the operating system
console. A device specification containing a positive value here will only
match if the device is in use as system console. (The console device
selection in early system startup is not influenced.) This way, the console
device can be connected to a known wskbd device instance.

The “.nodead
” suffix
(KB_NODEAD
flag) can be applied to layouts with
“dead accents” to switch them off.
The KB_US
, KB_UK
,
KB_FR
, KB_JP
and
KB_US|KB_DVORAK
mappings can be modified to swap the
left ⟨Ctrl⟩ and the ⟨CapsLock⟩ keys by the
KB_SWAPCTRLCAPS
variant bit or the
“.swapctrlcaps
” suffix.
The “.metaesc
” suffix
(KB_METAESC
flag) 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.)
