itemap(1M)itemap(1M)NAMEitemap - load an ITE (Internal Terminal Emulator) keyboard mapping.
SYNOPSIS
[options]
DESCRIPTION
The command loads a keyboard mapping into the ITE (the graphics console
driver), or displays ITE keyboard mappings. is run by automatically.
It is not usually explicitly invoked by the user.
Options
Dump a keymap to standard output in hexadecimal notation.
Load the specified keymap into the kernel mapping table
used for keyboards.
Interactively prompt for a
keyboard mapping. scans the keymap database
file for all mapping names beginning with a
prefix. Each of these names is displayed,
and one must be selected.
The name of the keymap database file to be used for input.
The default is
Load the appropriate keymap.
scans the hardware for a keyboard, determines
the language of that keyboard, and loads the
keymap corresponding to that keyboard.
Because cannot determine the language of key‐
boards, use the option when using with key‐
boards.
Load a specified keyboard map.
Once loaded, ITE uses the specified
mapping.
When loading a keyboard mapping with
the option, matches the suffix of
the name of the specified keyboard
mapping with those found in to
determine the keyboard language.
This information is used by the ITE
to perform ISO 7-to-8 bit conver‐
sion. Keymap names added by users,
via
should use the same suffixes as
those already used in For example, a
French keyboard mapping can be named
for consistency with existing and
mappings. A mapping called would
not match any suffix patterns found
by itemap, and would result in
incorrect ISO 7-to-8 bit conversion.
Load the specified keymap into the kernel mapping
table
used for keyboards.
Perform actions verbosely.
If a keymap for a
keyboard is loaded, write its name
to file_name.
