kbd_mode(1) kbd_mode(1)
NAME
/usr/bin/kbd_mode - change the keyboard translation mode
SYNOPSIS
kbd_mode -a | -n | -e | -u
DESCRIPTION
kbd_mode sets the translation mode of the console's keyboard (/dev/kbd)
to one of the four values defined for KIOCTRANS in kb(7M). This is
useful when a program that resets the translation mode terminates
abnormally and fails to restore the original translation mode.
Note that the text console desires ASCII characters (kbd_mode -a),
while Xorg(1) and Xsun(1) desire untranslated events (kbd_mode -u).
OPTIONS
-a ASCII: the keyboard will generate simple ASCII characters.
-n None: the keyboard will generate unencoded bytes - a distinct
value for up and down on each switch on the keyboard.
-e Events: the keyboard will generate firm_events with ASCII char‐
acters in the value field.
-u Unencoded: the keyboard will generate input events with unen‐
coded bytes in the value field such as those desired by the X
server.
