kmap2qmap
is a tool to generate keymaps for use on Embedded Linux. The source files have to be in standard Linux
kmap
format that is e.g. understood by the kernel's
loadkeys
command. This means you can use the following sources to generate
qmap
files:
kmap
format with the
ckbcomp
utility.
kmap
files are plain text files, they can also be hand crafted.
The generated
qmap
files are size optimized binary files.
kmap2qmap
is a command line program, that needs at least 2 files as parameters. The last one will be the generated
.qmap
file, while all the others will be parsed as input
.kmap
files. For example:
kmap2qmap i386/qwertz/de-latin1-nodeadkeys.kmap include/compose.latin1.inc de-latin1-nodeadkeys.qmap
kmap2qmap
does not support all the (pseudo) symbols that the Linux kernel supports. If you are converting a standard keymap you will get a lot of warnings for things like
Show_Registers
,
Hex_A
, etc.: you can safely ignore those.
It also doesn't support numeric symbols (e.g.
keycode 1 = 4242
，而不是
keycode 1 = colon
), since these are deprecated and can change from one kernel version to the other.
On the other hand,
kmap2qmap
supports one additional, Qt specific, symbol:
QtZap
. The built-in US keymap has that symbol mapped tp
Ctrl+Alt+Backspace
and it serves as a shortcut to kill your QWS server (similiar to the X11 server).
