en-us, en-gb, de, fr, sv, etc. |
45 |
|
|
46 |
|
The default keyboard map depends on the current locale (LC_* and LANG |
47 |
|
environment variables). If the current locale is unknown, the default |
48 |
|
keyboard map is en-us (a US English keyboard). |
49 |
|
|
50 |
|
The keyboard maps are file names, which means that they are case |
51 |
|
sensitive. The standard keymaps are all in lowercase. |
52 |
|
|
53 |
|
The keyboard maps are searched relative to the directories |
54 |
|
$HOME/.rdesktop/keymaps, KEYMAP_PATH (specified at build time), and |
55 |
|
$CWD/keymaps, in this order. The keyboard-map argument can also be an |
56 |
|
absolute filename. |
57 |
|
|
58 |
|
The special value `none' can be used instead of a keyboard map. |
59 |
|
In this case, rdesktop will guess the scancodes from the X11 event key |
60 |
|
codes using an internal mapping method. This method only supports the |
61 |
|
basic alphanumeric keys and may not work properly on all platforms |
62 |
|
so its use is discouraged. |
