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 keyboard 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 kbmap(3) exists and is writable. 

SOURCE

­/sys/src/cmd/kbmap.c

SEE ALSO

kbmap(3)

BUGS

Not all keyboards map the entire set of characters, so one has to switch back to the default map before changing to another.
