The source files have to be in standard Linux <code>kmap</code> format that is e.g. understood by the kernel's <code>loadkeys</code> command. This means you can use the following sources to generate <code>qmap</code> files:</p> <ul> <li>The <a href="http://lct.sourceforge.net/">Linux Console Tools (LCT)</a> project.</li> <li><a href="http://www.x.org/">Xorg</a> X11 keymaps can be converted to the <code>kmap</code> format with the <code>ckbcomp</code> utility.</li> <li>Since <code>kmap</code> files are plain text files, they can also be hand crafted.</li> </ul> <p>The generated <code>qmap</code> files are size optimized binary files.</p> <p><code>kmap2qmap</code> is a command line program, that needs at least 2 files as parameters. The last one will be the generated <code>.qmap</code> file, while all the others will be parsed as input <code>.kmap</code> files. For example:</p> <pre class="cpp"> kmap2qmap i386<span class="operator">/</span>qwertz<span class="operator">/</span>de<span class="operator">-</span>latin1<span class="operator">-</span>nodeadkeys<span class="operator">.</span>kmap <span class="keyword">include</span><span class="operator">/</span>compose<span class="operator">.</span>latin1<span class="operator">.</span>inc de<span class="operator">-</span>latin1<span class="operator">-</span>nodeadkeys<span class="operator">.</span>qmap </pre> <p><code>kmap2qmap</code> does not support all the (pseudo) symbols that the Linux kernel supports. If you are converting a standard keymap you will get a lot of warnings for things like <code>Show_Registers</code>, <code>Hex_A</code>, etc.: you can safely ignore those.</p> <p>It also doesn't support numeric symbols (e.g. <code>keycode 1 = 4242</code>, instead of <code>keycode 1 = colon</code>), since these are deprecated and can change from one kernel version to the other.</p> </div> <!-- @@@qt-embedded-kmap2qmap.html --> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="footer"> <p> <acronym title="Copyright">©</acronym> 2017 The Qt Company Ltd.
