Article Title : SoftPC Keymap files Creation Date : 10/13/93 Message ID : CGLNHQ Last Update : Expiration Rules : unknown ================================================================= SoftPC 3.0 ships with a keymap file for the NCD RT-101 keyboard. This file is included below. I have also created a file for an NCD-108 keyboard, included below. The NCD-108 file has been given to two customers so far, and they have not reported problems. The files go in the directory $SPCHOME/keyboard. There is also a fax describing how to create the keymap files. Its contents is included after the keymap files. ---------------- cut here for file ncd-rt101.kbd ----------------------- ; @(#)ncd_rt101.kbd 1.1 5/1/92 Copyright Insignia Solutions Inc. 1c#1f 76#5a 57#7c 5f#7e 12:5f#7d 64#4c 67#4b 6e#50 6f#55 6d#56 65#51 ---------------- cut here for file ncd-n108.kbd ----------------------- 2b#22 2d#14 16#02 2e#06 66#4c 60#54 61#4f 63#53 6a#59 7c#6a 76#5f 5f#64 6e#4b 67#50 64#55 65#4c 6f#51 6d#56 CREATING A NEW KEYMAP FOR SOFTPC: (Note: This document is written for the SPARC version of SoftPC. Some of the references may be different on your workstation). SoftPC 3.0 maps all PC/AT keys to equivalent keys available on your workstation keyboard. Some keys such as the separate home, end, page up, page down, and arrow keys are not available on some workstation keyboards. When unavailable, these keys are mapped to the key pad as follows: --------------------- | 7 | 8 | 9 | | Home | Up | PgUp | --------------------- | 4 | 5 | 6 | | Left | | Right| --------------------- | 1 | 2 | 3 | | End | Down | PgDn | --------------------- If there are PC keys missing from your workstation keyboard or you wish to reassign certain keys, you can create a new keymap for SoftPC. SoftPC 3.0 comes with 3 key maps: sun 4c_type4.kbd (Sun Microsystems Type 4 Keyboard) sun4_type3.kbd (Sun Microsystems Type Keyboard) ncd_rt101.kbd (NCD Xterminal NCD 101 AT style Keyboard) In the $SPCHOME/keyboard directory, you can create a new keymap by creating a text file with a kbd extension (for example, new.kbd) or edit a copy of one of the exisiting keymaps. This file must be of the following format: filename ---\/ ;@(#)sun4c_type4.kbd 1.1 5/1/92 Copyright Insignia Solutions Inc. 49#0f 14#3e 4a#40 0c#70 10#7a 12#7b 1d#7c 1e#7d 1c#7e ^ ^----SoftPC keyboard hexadecimal keycode | Workstation keyboard hexadecimal keycode SoftPC keycodes are listed on the following pages. The keycodes for your workstation keyboard are listed using the following command: xmodmap -pk dump This will give you a listing similar to the following: There are 4 key Syms per KeyCode: KeyCodes range from 8 to 132.
