Description
The xkeycaps program displays a keyboard. Moving the
mouse over a key describes the keysyms and modifiers that
that key generates. Clicking left on a key simulates a
KeyPress event. Clicking right on a key brings up a menu
of operations, including a command to change the keysyms
that the key generates. This program is, in part, a
graphical front-end to xmodmap(1).
- Productivity
- Good for easily resetting keyboard modmap, finding keyboard keysyms
and keycodes.
- Safety
- Tested on NCD17c and Intel 101 key keyboard
Use it intermittantly to get keycodes/Keysyms
- Work Planned
- Convert to use data files for server keycode to keysym mapping
and Keyboard templates rather than being compiled into binary
- Documentation
- Manual Page
- Verification
-
./xkeycaps
choose server and keyboard map, Press keys on keyboard and
endure same key on Display animates....
