A '#' character and anything following it on the same line are ignored as a comment. +Scancodes and keycodes are decimal values unless proceeded by "0x" for hexadecimal. +To remove a mapping entirely, set it to 0x00 (RESERVED). +Key names are also accepted instead of keycodes, like this: +.IP + 0x0001 = KEY_F9 +.TP +Be careful setting values from 0 to 9, as they will be parsed as the key symbols, not the decimal numbers. If you want to list a single-digit decimal keycode, specify it as a hexadecimal value to remove any ambiguity. + +.SH AUTHOR +Gerd Hoffmann <kraxel@redhat.com> |
