gen_keymap

NAME

SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

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.
  • verbose Be more verbose.
  • MINLEN Too-short keymaps are skipped (default: 30 entries).
  • graph Generate a hopefully-nice-looking .dot file.
  • maps Print the to-be-processed keymaps
  • installer Input files are in d-i map form.
  • DIRS Add a directory to the search path.
  • FILENAME Set output file (default: stdout).
  • FILTER Include only the branches leading to these keymaps.
  • USEONLY Start generating the tree based only on these keymaps. (The difference between and 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.)
  • SKIP Keymaps to skip.
  • test Test the generated maps.
  • interactive Ask user to choose among indistinguishable keymaps.
