With a keymap with accent key definitions loaded to syscons, you press
an accent key followed by a regular letter key to produce an accented
letter. Press an accent key followed by the space bar to get the
accent letter itself.
Code is based on the ideas and work by jmrueda@diatel.upm.es and
totii@est.is.
PR: i386/4016
- Added keywords for accent (dead) keys: dgra, dacu, dcir, dtil...
- Recognize accent map definitions.
<accent_map_definition> ::= <accent_key_name> <accent_char> <accent_map>
<accent_key_name> ::= dgra | dacu | dcir | dtil | dmac | dbre | ddot |
duml | dsla | drin | dced | dapo | ddac | dogo |
dcar
<accent_map> ::= <map_entry>
| <map_entry> <accent_map>
<map_entry> ::= ( <regular_letter_char> <accented_char> )
- Use ioctls PIO_DEADKEYMAP and GIO_DEADKEYMAP to set and get the accent
key map table in syscons.
- Made the output for the -L option more intelligible and look like
initializers in kbdtables.h.
- Reorganized print functions in order to print the accent key map.
This will make a number of things easier in the future, as well as (finally!)
avoiding the Id-smashing problem which has plagued developers for so long.
Boy, I'm glad we're not using sup anymore. This update would have been
insane otherwise.
Display update method changed, now allways write in memory buffer,
then periodically update physical display.
Speed improvements (now > 5 times faster than the old syscons).
History now circular buffer, with changeable size.
History scroll by up/down line, up/down page, home and end.
Backtab proberly implemented.
Now space for 96 function keys, 63 allocated standard, default now
SCO/SYSV compat again as in the old days.
New keyboard definition files ~share/syscons/keymaps/*
Misc fixes for old "hacks" that broke SCO/SYSV compat.
More that I forgot before writing this...
