.SH NAME
keytables \- keyboard table descriptions for loadkeys and dumpkeys
.SH DESCRIPTION
.sp
.LP
These files are used by \fBloadkeys\fR(1) to modify the translation tables used
by the keyboard streams module and generated from those translation tables. See
\fBloadkeys\fR(1).
.sp
.LP
Any line in the file beginning with \fB#\fR is a comment, and is ignored.
\fB#\fR is treated specially only at the beginning of a line.
.sp
.LP
Other lines specify the values to load into the tables for a particular
keystation.  The format is either:
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fBkey\fR \fInumber list_of_entries\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
or
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fBswap\fR \fInumber1\fR \fBwith\fR \fInumber2\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
or
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fBkey\fR \fInumber1\fR \fBsame as\fR \fInumber2\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
or a blank line, which is ignored.
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fBkey\fR \fInumber list_of_entries\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
sets the entries for keystation \fInumber\fR from the list given.  An entry in
that list is of the form
.sp
.in +2
.nf
\fItablename\fR \fIcode\fR
.fi
.in -2
.sp

.sp
.LP
where \fItablename\fR is the name of a particular translation table, or
\fBall\fR. The translation tables are:
.sp

.RE

.RE

.sp

.RE

.sp

\fB\fBnuml\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 9n
entry when "Num Lock" is in effect
.RE

.sp
.ne 2
.na
\fB\fBup\fR\fR
.ad
.RS 9n
entry when a key goes up
.RE

.sp
.LP
All tables other than \fBup\fR refer to the action generated when a key goes
down.  Entries in the \fBup\fR table are used only for shift keys, since the
shift in question goes away when the key goes up, except for keys such as "Caps
Lock" or "Num Lock"; the keyboard streams module makes the key look as if it
were a latching key.
.sp
.LP
A table name of \fBall\fR indicates that the entry for all tables should be set
to the specified value, with the following exception: for entries with a value
other than \fBhole\fR, the entry for the \fBnuml\fR table should be set to
\fBnonl\fR, and the entry for the \fBup\fR table should be set to \fBnop\fR.
.sp
.LP
The \fIcode\fR specifies the effect of the key in question when the specified
shift key is down. A \fIcode\fR consists of either:
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
A character, which indicates that the key should generate the given character.
The character can either be a single character, a single character preceded by
\fB^\fR which refers to a "control character" (for instance, \fB^c\fR is
control-C), or a C-style character constant enclosed in single quote characters
(\fB\&'\fR), which can be expressed with C-style escape sequences such as \er
for \fBRETURN\fR or \e000 for the null character.  Note that the single
character may be any character in an 8-bit character set, such as ISO 8859/1.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
A string, consisting of a list of characters enclosed in double quote
characters (\fB"\fR). Note that the use of the double quote character means
that a \fIcode\fR of double quote must be enclosed in single quotes.
.RE
.RS +4
.TP
.ie t \(bu
.el o
One of the following expressions:
