Keymap file description ----------------------- The keymap files are used by the xrdp login screen, and also when sending keyboard input to a VNC server. The names of the files are of the format; km-xxxxxxxx.toml where the xxxxxxxx is replaced by the hex number of the layout of interest. The contents of the files are documented in xrdp-km.toml(5) See also xrdp-genkeymap(8) which describes the utility used to generate these files. Creating a new file ------------------- To create a new file:- 1) Start an X server 2) Use the 'setxkbmap' command to get the keyboard configured for the X server. 3) Run the 'xrdp-genkeymap' command to extract the keyboard mappings Example: ./xrdp-genkeymap ./km-00000409.toml 4) Copy the generated file to /etc/xrdp/ Using the X server of your current session may not be a good idea, as session and window managers can interfere with key bindings. A good option is to use an 'Xvfb' dummy X server to do this. Getting a file added to xrdp ---------------------------- The file dump-keymaps.sh in this directory is used to auto-generate all keymap files. It runs on Linux currently, but will generate keymap files suitable for any xrdp platform. 1) Add a line towards the end of this file which causes your mapping to be generated. Use the other lines in this file as a guide. 2) Run the dump-keymaps.sh script to generate a new file in instfiles/ 3) Add your mapping to the list in instfiless/Makefile.am 4) Submit a pull request to the project containing the above three changes.
