.Sh DESCRIPTION
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
command displays or sets various wscons system driver variables.
|
|
If a list of variables is present on the command line, then
|
|
.Nm
|
|
prints the current value of those variables for the specified device.
|
|
.Bl -tag -width Ds
|
|
.It Fl a
|
|
Specify all variables for the device.
|
|
.It Fl d
|
|
Select the display portion of the device.
|
|
.It Fl f Ar file
|
|
Specify an alternative control device.
|
|
.It Fl k
|
|
Select the keyboard portion of the device (this is the default).
|
|
.It Fl m
|
|
Select the mouse portion of the device.
|
|
.It Fl n
|
|
Suppress the printing of the variable name in the output -
|
|
only the value will appear.
|
|
.It Fl w
|
|
Set or modify the specified variables to the given values.
|
|
The value can be specified as either an absolute value, by using the
|
|
.Ql =
|
|
symbol or as a relative value, by using the
|
|
.Ql +=
|
|
symbol.
|
|
See the
|
|
.Sx EXAMPLES
|
|
section for more details.
|
|
.El
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The
|
|
.Nm
|
|
utility can be used to view and modify aspects of the keyboard,
|
|
display, and mouse, using the standard, machine-independent
|
|
workstation console device driver
|
|
.Xr wscons 4 .
|
|
.Pp
|
|
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
|
|
.Pa /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The mouse types are defined in the
|
|
.Pa /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
The display types, height, width, depth (bits per pixel), color
|
|
map size, and color map are defined in the
|
|
.Pa /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
|
|
In addition to British, US, and US-Dvorak keyboard encodings, support
|
|
currently exists for the following languages: Danish, Finnish, French,
|
|
German, Italian, Japanese, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish, and Swedish.
|
|
Additionally, a user-defined encoding is supported.

.Sh EXAMPLES
|
|
The following are just a few examples of
|
|
.Nm
|
|
and its functionality.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -w encoding=uk
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Set a UK keyboard encoding.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -w map+="keysym Caps_Lock = Control_L"
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Modify 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
|
|
.Pa /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsksymdef.h
|
|
file.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -w encoding=us.swapctrlcaps
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Set 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
|
|
Set the bell pitch to be 1200.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -w bell.pitch+=200
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Add 200 to the current pitch of the bell.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -d -w msg.kernel.attrs=color,hilit msg.kernel.bg=red msg.kernel.fg=brown
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Set the color of kernel messages to brown on red with the highlighting
|
|
flag set (becoming yellow on red).
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -w repeat.del1=200 repeat.deln=50
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Set the initial delay for keyboard auto repeat to 200ms, and subsequent
|
|
delays to 50ms.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -w repeat.del1=0
|
|
.Pp
|
|
Turn off auto repeat.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -d -w scroll.fastlines=50
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If scroll support is enabled in the kernel, set the number of lines
|
|
used in the fast scroll function to 50.
|
|
.Pp
|
|
.Dl wsconsctl -d -w scroll.slowlines=2
|
|
.Pp
|
|
If scroll support is enabled in the kernel, set the number of lines
|
|
used in the slow scroll function to 2.
|
|
In order to use this function, you have to have
|
|
.Dv Cmd_ScrollSlowDown
|
|
and
|
|
.Dv Cmd_ScrollSlowUp
|
|
defined in your keyboard map.
