GEN_KEYMAP(1) Ubuntu General Commands Manual GEN_KEYMAP(1)

NAME

gen_keymap — generate a keyboard map decision tree

SYNOPSIS

gen_keymap list ...

DESCRIPTION

gen_keymap generates a decision tree from a set of keyboard maps which can be used to help a user decide which keyboard map to use. The program using the decision tree typically asks the user to press some keys; at each step, it examines the returned keycode and uses it to prune the list of possible keyboard maps until there is only one left.

OPTIONS
−−version

Show program’s version number and exit.

−?, −−help

Show help text.

−v, −−verbose

Be more verbose.

−mMINLEN, −−minlen=MINLEN

Too-short keymaps are skipped (default: 30 entries).

−g, −−graph

Generate a hopefully-nice-looking .dot file.

−−maps

Print the to-be-processed keymaps

−i, −−installer

Input files are in d-i map form.

−IDIRS, −−inc=DIRS, −−include=DIRS

Add a directory to the search path.

−oFILENAME, −−output=FILENAME

Set output file (default: stdout).

−fFILTER, −−filter=FILTER

Include only the branches leading to these keymaps.

−uUSEONLY, −−useonly=USEONLY

Start generating the tree based only on these keymaps. (The difference between −−filter and −−useonly is that the former generates the whole tree and then prunes it, while the latter only generates a reduced tree to begin with. This may have implications for performance on large trees.)

−sSKIP, −−skip=SKIP

Keymaps to skip.

−t, −−test

Test the generated maps.

−−interactive

Ask user to choose among indistinguishable keymaps.
