English.

To set a variable the value is specified with an equal sign like

.Bd -literal -offset indent -compact

Not all variables can be modified.
|

The value can be specified as either an absolute value, by using the

.Ar =

.Ar +=

symbol. See the

The keyboard type can be modified, the keyboard bell's pitch,
|
||||
period and duration
|

can be modified,
|

the

.Ar typematic
|
||||
value can be changed, and the keyboard encoding can be modified
|

to switch keys, should the user find a keyboard's default layout
|

difficult to use.
|
||||
The keyboard types and other relevant definitions,
|
||||
can all be found in the
|
||||
.Ar /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h
|
||||
file.

.Fl kdm
|

is given
|
||||
.Fl k
|
||||
is the default.
|
||||
The mouse types are defined in the

|

.Pp
|

The

|
||||
The keyboard types, and the height, width,
|
||||
depth (bits per pixel), color map size, and colormap
|
||||
are defined in the
|
||||
.Ar /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h
|

file. There are also definitions relating to video
|
||||
control and cursor control, which are not applicable to
|

all display types, and to text emulation and graphics
|
||||
(mapped) modes.
|

.Pp

The
|

There are currently keyboard encodings for the following
|
||||
countries: user-defined, US, German, Danish, Italian,
|
||||
French, British and Japanese.
|
||||
.Sh EXAMPLES
|
||||
The following are just a few examples of
|
||||
.Nm
|
||||
and its functionality.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl wsconsctl -w encoding=uk
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Sets a UK keyboard encoding.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl wsconsctl -w map+="keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L"
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Modifies the current keyboard encoding so that, when the
|
||||
.Ar Caps Lock
|
||||
key is pressed, the same encoding sequence as
|
||||
.Ar Left Control
|
||||
is sent.
|
||||
For a full list of keysyms, and keycodes, please refer
|
||||
to the
|
||||
.Ar /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h
|
||||
file.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl wsconsctl -w encoding=us.swapctrlcaps
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
sets a US keyboard encoding, with the
|
||||
.Ar Caps Lock
|
||||
and
|
||||
.Ar Left Control
|
||||
keys swapped. The
|
||||
.Ar .swapctrlcaps
|
||||
encoding does not work for all national keyboard encodings.
|
||||
For most purposes, the ability to set the value returned
|
||||
by the
|
||||
.Ar Caps Lock
|
||||
key is enough - see the previous example for details.
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl wsconsctl -w bell.pitch=1200
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
Sets the bell pitch to be 1200, whilst
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
.Dl wsconsctl -w bell.pitch+=200
|
||||
.Pp
|
||||
adds 200 to the current pitch of the bell.
