X Keyboard Extension
|
|
--------------------
|
|
|
|
The X Keyboard Extension essentially replaces the core protocol definition of
|
|
keyboard. The extension makes possible to clearly and explicitly specify most
|
|
aspects of keyboard behaviour on per-key basis and to more closely track the
|
|
logical and physical state of the keyboard. It also includes a number of
|
|
keyboard controls designed to make keyboards more accessible to people with
|
|
physical impairments.
|
|
|
|
There are five types of components in the server database corresponing to five
|
|
xkb symbolic names: symbols, geometry, keycodes, compat and types which
|
|
determine the keyboard behaviour. These five components can combined together
|
|
into a resulting keyboard mapping using the 'rules' component.
|
|
|
|
The complete specification can be found on
|
|
http://www.x-docs.org/XKB/XKBproto.pdf
|
|
|
|
For XKB configuration information see 'README.config' file.

For information how to further enhance XKB configuration see 'README.enhancing'
