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:
The wskbd
driver provides a number of
ioctl functions to control key maps and other parameters. These functions
are accessible though the associated “wsdisplay” device as
well. A complete list is in
/usr/include/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.

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.)
