haiku/docs/userguide/prefs-keymap.html
Stephan Aßmus e0540f7ee3 Patch by Humdinger:
* Added docs and screenshots for preference panels:
     Appearance, Backgrounds, DataTranslations, E-mail,
     Filetypes, Fonts, Keyboard, Keymap, Menu, Mouse,
     Network, Screen, Screensaver, Sounds, Time, VirtualMemory
    Adapted some contents for E-mail preferences from
    src/documentation/haiku_user_guide/HaikuUserGuide.txt
    As I haven't succeeded to get email running in vmware, I'd appreciate if someone
    can proof read what's written in E-mail preferences.
* Added preferences to the user guide contents.
* Various formatting details and inter-documents-links

Wow! Thanks a lot!

<p>The Keymap window shows a representation of your keyboard. When you press a key, the corresponding key is inverted and the assigned symbol is entered into the text field at the top. From there you can copy and paste it into any document.<br>
Thus, the Keymap preferences are not only for configuring your local keymap, but are also useful when looking for a special symbol used in other languages. For example, you can switch the keymap to "French", find the "&ccedil;" and copy it into your mail to Fran&ccedil;ois. (Though you'll find the "cedil" also in other keymaps...")
</p><p>Pressing modifier keys like <tt>SHIFT</tt> or <tt>AltGr</tt>, you'll find more special characters.
</p><p>Then there are the keys that are marked with a yellow outline. These are keys that can change the key you press after that. If you press a yellow key twice, those changeable keys are marked with a red outline. Examples are &eacute;, &ntilde;, &oacute; or &euml;.
</p><p>You set the used font, which may or may not contain all symbols for a specific keymap from the <i>Font</i> menu.
