NAME<\/a> setkeycodes \u2212 load kernel scancode-to-keycode mapping table entries<\/p>\n setkeycodes<\/b> scancode keycode …<\/i><\/p>\n The setkeycodes<\/i> command reads its arguments two at a time, each pair of arguments consisting of a scancode (given in hexadecimal) and a keycode (given in decimal). For each such pair, it tells the kernel keyboard driver to map the specified scancode to the specified keycode.<\/p>\n This command is useful only for people with slightly unusual keyboards, that have a few keys which produce scancodes that the kernel does not recognize.<\/p>\n The usual PC keyboard produces a series of scancodes for each key press and key release. (Scancodes are shown by showkey \u2212s<\/b>, see showkey<\/b>(1) ) The kernel parses this stream of scancodes, and converts it to a stream of keycodes (key press\/release events). (Keycodes are shown by showkey<\/b>.) Apart from a few scancodes with special meaning, and apart from the sequence produced by the Pause key, and apart from shiftstate related scancodes, and apart from the key up\/down bit, the stream of scancodes consists of unescaped scancodes xx (7 bits) and escaped scancodes e0 xx (8+7 bits). To these scancodes or scancode pairs, a corresponding keycode can be assigned (in the range 1-127). For example, if you have a Macro key that produces e0 6f according to showkey<\/b>(1), the command<\/p>\n setkeycodes e06f 112<\/b><\/p>\n will assign the keycode 112 to it, and then loadkeys<\/b>(1) can be used to define the function of this key.<\/p>\n Some older kernels might hardwire a low scancode range to the equivalent keycodes; setkeycodes will fail when you try to remap these.<\/p>\n In 2.6 kernels key codes lie in the range 1-255, instead of 1-127. (It might be best to confine oneself to the range 1-239.)<\/p>\n In 2.6 kernels raw mode, or scancode mode, is not very raw at all. The code returned by showkey \u2212s will change after use of setkeycodes. A kernel bug. See also showkey<\/b>(1).<\/p>\n None.<\/p>\n The keycodes of X have nothing to do with those of Linux. Unusual keys can be made visible under Linux, but not under X.<\/p>\n dumpkeys<\/b>(1), loadkeys<\/b>(1), showkey<\/b>(1), getkeycodes<\/b>(8)<\/p>\n setkeycodes \u2212 load kernel scancode-to-keycode mapping table entries <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[5,52,4,135],"class_list":["post-2781","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-8-administracion-del-sistema","tag-5","tag-administracion","tag-man8","tag-setkeycodes"],"gutentor_comment":0,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2781","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2781"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2781\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2781"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2781"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/lode.uno\/linux-man\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2781"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
