37  ============  ============
38  The keymaps are line based. There are three different types of lines:  The names of the keymaps follows RFC1766.
39    
40    (You can find a translation from Windows keyboard layout numbers to
41    keymap names by looking at
42    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\MIME\Database\RFC1766 in the
43    registry.)

46    Contents of keymap files
47    ========================
48    The keymaps are line based. There are four different types of lines:

129    Updating / writing keymap files
130    ===============================
131    When writing new or updating keymap files, please use comments and
132    blanks, to increase readability. The "sv" keymap is a good template.
133    
134    When you need to add a translation to a keymap file, do:
135    
136        1. Get the "key number" for this key, by looking at keynums.png.
137    
138        2. Take a look at scancodes.h, and look for
139        SCANCODE_KEY_<my-key-number>. The scancode value is at the end of
140        the line. If the line contains (SCANCODE_EXTENDED | 0xsomething),
141        then you should OR 0x80 to this value. For example, you can do:
142        
143        python -c "print hex(0x80 | 0xsomething)"
144    
145        3. Put the scancode (from step 2) and keysym name (found in the
146        error message) into the keymap file.
147    
148    
149    Special keys
150    ============
151    
152    * The combination Ctrl-Alt-Enter toggles between fullscreen and
153      non-fullscreen mode.
154    
155    * Meta, Hyper and Super will be treated as windows keys. RDP4 does not
156      support the windows keys though, so if you are running RDP4, these
157      keys will translate to Ctrl-Esc.
