[arch-general] Various questions regarding keyboard configuration
Hi, I'm currently rewriting some pages on ArchWiki regarding keyboard configuration, the current state is quite a mess. Here's the most relevant discussion: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Talk:Xorg#Keyboard_settings You can watch the progress on my user-pages, any feedback is welcome: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Lahwaacz/Keyboard_configuration_in... https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/User:Lahwaacz/Keyboard_configuration_in... I've got some questions that I think should be answered before I finish: 1) Why are keycodes as reported by xev different from those reported by showkey? This is not related to configuration, but I plan to update/rewrite https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Extra_Keyboard_Keys too. 2) The man page vconsole.conf(5) mentions KEYMAP_TOGGLE variable to "configure a second toggle keymap", however, that's all the documentation says. Looking at the code (vconsole-setup.c at line 120), it uses the 'loadkeys' utility, which does not document any such feature. Instead it seems that the specified keymaps are loaded serially, resulting in KEYMAP_TOGGLE overwrites KEYMAP. Am I missing something here? Regards, Jakub Klinkovský (Lahwaacz)
