kbmap – show a list of available keyboard maps and switch between them.

SYNOPSIS

kbmap [ file... ]

DESCRIPTION

Kbmap shows a single column consisting of the names of keyboard maps for different alphabets available on the system. With no arguments kbmap will look for files in /sys/lib/kbmap.

Clicking the right mouse button will highlight the entry and force the keyboard mapping defined in the corresponding file to become current for the system; typing ’q’ quits.

Kbmap requires that the file /dev/kbmap served by kbdfs(8) exists and is writable.

BUGS

Not all keyboards map the entire set of characters, so one has to switch back to the default map before changing to another.
