.TH keyboard_translatekeys 3 "29 July 1997" "Svgalib (>= 1.2.11)" "Svgalib User Manual"
|
|
.SH NAME
|
|
keyboard_translatekeys \- modify scancode mappings in raw keyboard mode
|
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
|
|
|
.B "#include <vgakeyboard.h>"
|
|
|
|
.BI "void keyboard_translatekeys(int " mask );
|
|
|
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
|
This function sets several flags which control how certain scancodes are mapped. At startup
|
|
a
|
|
.I mask
|
|
value of 0 is active.
|
|
|
|
.I mask
|
|
must be a logical or of zero or more of the following
|
|
.B #predefined
|
|
integers to turn the features listed on:
|
|
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B TRANSLATE_CURSORKEYS
|
|
Translate the scancodes of the
|
|
.B SCANCODE_CURSORBLOCK*
|
|
keys to those of the cursor keys on the number pad, s.t.
|
|
.BR keyboard_getstate "(3) and " keyboard_keypressed (3)
|
|
report a keypress of the corresponding number pad cursor key and not the one
|
|
on the cursor block.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B TRANSLATE_DIAGONAL
|
|
Translates the scancodes of diagonal cursor keys (keypad 7, 9, 1, 3) to presses of two
|
|
of the ordinary up, down, left, right keys. For example, instead of reporting
|
|
a press of
|
|
.B SCANCODE_CURSORUPRIGHT
|
|
.BR keyboard_getstate "(3) and " keyboard_keypressed (3)
|
|
report a simultaneous press of
|
|
.BR SCANCODE_CURSORUP " and " SCANCODE_CURSORRIGHT .
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B TRANSLATE_KEYPADENTER
|
|
The scancode of the keypad enter key is mapped to that of the ordinary enter key, s.t.
|
|
.BR keyboard_getstate "(3) and " keyboard_keypressed (3)
|
|
report a press of
|
|
.B SCANCODE_ENTER
|
|
regardless if keypad enter or ordinary enter is pressed.
|
|
.TP
|
|
.B DONT_CATCH_CTRLC
|
|
Pressing
|
|
.B <Ctrl>-C
|
|
does
|
|
.B not
|
|
raise a
|
|
.BR SIGINT .
|
|
On contrary to the other flags this has also effect when a user defined keyboard event handler
|
|
is used. Svgalib will
|
|
.BR always " process " <Alt>-F1 " - " <Alt>-F10
|
|
and perform console switches accordingly.
|
|
|
|
.SH BUGS
|
|
The
|
|
.B TRANSLATE_*
|
|
options above do really do simple scancode translations. For example, when
|
|
.B TRANSLATE_KEYPADENTER
|
|
is active and the user presses both enter and keypad enter. Then, if he releases
|
|
one of them (say keypad enter), it's release event will clear the common keyboard state, s.t.
|
|
no keypress is reported even though enter is still pressed.
|
|
|
|
Similarly, if
|
|
.B TRANSLATE_DIAGONAL
|
|
is active, the user holds cursor upleft (keypad 7) down and then presses and release
|
|
cursor up (keypad 8), svgalib will only report a pressed cursor left but the simulated
|
|
cursor up will be lost. You can easily try this with the
|
|
.BR keytest (6)
|
|
demo to make the effect more clear to you.
