[9fans] keyboard maps

[9fans] keyboard maps

[Fco.J.Ballesteros]

I've changed the processing of kbd maps in our local driver
to do all the kbdmap thing at user level (the code is in fact
inside the usb user-level kbd driver, that now also knows how
to work with a regular keyboard (i.e. a non-usb one)).

You'd need the sys/src/9/boot/boot.c, the sys/src/9/pc/kbd.c and
the sys/src/cmd/usb/hid/ files I've put in /n/sources/nemo.
We've been using it for a while and it seems to work fine.

Our boot(8) starts usbd and usb/usbhid. Usbhid services
the usb keyboard if it finds one, and the console keyboard
if it finds no usb kbd. In any case, it implements the maps and
the latin1 composition. Our kernel driver is servicing just a us
map.

BTW, we're no longer using what was known as the
`alternate keyboard driver' and therefore I removed it from
/n/sources/nemo. I sincerelly think that the new one can
service all of us well.

I've tried to put all the maps I had into the new program (usb/hid).
If any of you use it and have any problem with any map or any
other thing, let me know.

PS: There are also manual pages updated under /n/sources/nemo

this work you are doing with user-level USB is really interesting. It will
be neat if this turns into "usb outside the kernel" given the amazing
error-prone lockup nature of the usb chipsets we've seen. Supposing we can
push all this USB crud into user procs, do you think we'll be able to suck
up USB 2.0 at reasonable rates?

I've only done a HID driver, all of the usb code was already there, and
btw, all of the configuration is in usbd outside the kernel. The kernel seems
to configure (almost) the bare minimum in usb(3).

I'd like to keep the usb stack outside the kernel just while seeing errors;
once it gets stable, I don't know if I wouldnt want to put it all back in the kernel
just to avoid complexity (more file systems, more binds, more levels of
indirection, etc.).

Regarding 2.0, I'm in the mood of using usb for almost any new piece of hw
we buy that is not integrated inside the PC. This means that sooner or later
we'll have usb 2.0, it depends on who needs this earlier, if we or other 9fans.

The tables go now from rune to rune, not from scancode to rune.
This means that the tables are smaller. They are inside /sys/src/cmd/usb/hid/map.c
For example, this is the ukkbmap now:

Rmap ukkbmap[] = {
	{L'"',	L'@'},	// 0x0022 -> 0x0040
	{L'#',	L'£'},	// 0x0023 -> 0x00a3
	{L'α',	L'\\'},	// 0x0000 -> 0x005c
	{L'β',	L'|'},	// 0x0000 -> 0x007c
	{L'γ',	L'¬'},	// 0x0000 -> 0x00ac
	{L'@',	L'"'},	// 0x0040 -> 0x0022
	{L'\\',	L'#'},	// 0x005c -> 0x0023
	{L'|',	L'~'},	// 0x007c -> 0x007e
	{L'~',	L'¬'},	// 0x007e -> 0x00ac
	{0,	0},
};

You have a xxkbmap[] per keyboard type. Also, you may have a xxaltkbmap[] if
you happen to have AltGr.

The two arrays maps[] and altmaps[] in the same file (map.c) glue all the tables
together.

[9fans] keyboard maps

[Heiko Dudzus]

After making a replica/pull today, I have problems with the kbmaps in
/sys/lib/kbmap. The third field of each entry (value of unicode
character) has changed from hexadecimal value to literal
representation (e.g. 'o instead of 0x6f and ^[ instead of 0x1b).

Writing a kbmap with representations like ^X for control characters
to /dev/kbmap fails with Ebadarg: "bad arg in system call" (although
that representation conforms to the new version of kbmap(3)).

The kernel is 9pc (binary from sources), dated on Oct 27.  

I stepped back to the old kbmaps as a workaround but thought I should
mention the problem.

Scan codes are irrelevant here. Interaction with all those key
definitions takes place _after_ scan codes were mapped to runes. And
even the special keys are defined as normal runes in the tables.

Yes, that is correct. But as I said only Break leaves the kernel, and
possibly PF and Middle in future keymaps. For those keys we can possibly
choose other values from the U0080 control range (there are several
"just control" characters and two "private use" ones without predefined
meaning). The other Spec keys can be assigned arbitrary Unicode value
which is not intended to be typed as a normal character and not used in
Plan 9 as a control one. IMO, using the first characters in U0080 is OK
for all Spec keys as those "predefined control meanings" do control
nothing in Plan 9.

Are you sure you've taken into account that kbtab and kbtabesc1 map the
scan codes into Runes?  In View's case it should just be defined as 0x80.
It gets that value as a side effect of the value of Spec.

Admittedly I overlooked this case, but I never type View anyway.

I don't think the following would agree:

They may be well control values but some of them have a defined meaning.

Sorry if I wasnt't clear - by bidi text I was refering to

Boustrophedon support would be nice, too if there was a language that

Although I've never tried it, I am told Sun's Star/Open Office has

What about combining characters?

Along with the key maps is there support for bidi text as in inferno's
brutus? utf.ms/ps/html says this is not implemented, but the papers
have not been updated  since they were written and this one is at

I'm changing it back to 0x80 since key View (Down) is defined as
Spec|0x00. The value 0x80 for View is hardcoded in rio, acme and sam and
when redefined those programs no longer recognise View as a special key,
and just insert it as text. According to Unicode characters 0x0080 to
0x009F are designated as control ones so it is safe to use them for
special keys. The old definitions for the other Spec-based keys were
causing conflict with Latin-1 characters because Spec (0x80) was ORed
with values above 0x1F (0x20; 0x60 to 0x67) yielding valid accented
Latin characters. That's why I've also changed the definitions for those
keys to be ORed to saner values (0x10; 0x01 to 0x08). Most of those
special keys are interpreted only inside kbd.c so no conflict with
external hardcoded config is possible. Only Break (does it have any
special meaning in P9 or special interpretation?), PF and Middle (both
unassigned in current keymaps) are put into keyboard buffer. The updated
kbd.h is attached.

Pavel

IIRC this is so that the 'compose' keys on either side of the space bar
do the same thing.  On keyboards where Alg-Gr acts as a second 'shift'
this is a bad idea.

Yes that's right.  I'd also change Spec too:

If Spec is 0x80 it causes all sorts of woe when you hit Latin-1 characters.

Sure would, as it is confusing and actually indicates the collection of a multi
character sequence, which may not be related to 'latin' characters at all.

All the maps you sent are in place.

Would it be keyboard the right man page
to tell users about the Fn thing to change maps?

In kbd.h Altgr is defined as 0x38 which disagrees with the other
shift-state keys (Shift, Ctrl, etc). This is apparently the reason to
use variable gr, needed to differentiate between Altgr and simply 0x38
(which is actually '8'). I've changed the definition of Altgr to
Spec|0x67 (right after the other shift keys) and removed gr. I also
removed last_altgr which seems to be unused. All that fixed a bug for me
- when using keymaps without Altgr (i.e. us map) right Alt was supposed
to work as the left one but after pressing it I could enter any
arbitrary character _before_ collecting of compose sequence begins. The
revised kbd.c and kbd.h are attached. Btw, isn't it wise to rename Latin
from kbd.h to something more meaningful, such as Compose, since
composing is used to enter much more than Roman-script based characters?

What key sequence should trigger them in /lib/keyboard?  We can
just add them.

What is the Unicode value of the symbol?  Does it exist in
Lucida?  More broadly, in what font doesn't it exist? There
are many to choose from.

the characters exits in the fonts, but there's no way to type them
using a key sequence, hence they don't show up in /lib/keyboard, where
i was looking for them.  immediately after emailing the file i went to
unicode.org and found their appropriate unicode values:

0x042A = Ъ
0x042C = Ь

they most certainly show up in /lib/font/bit/pelm/euro.8.font
which is my console font of choice :)

attached is the revised kbd_bg.c file

Re: [9fans] keyboard maps

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 522 bytes --]

here's a file for typinng in cyrillic, with the bulgarian keyboard
layout..  i've put the necessary changes to add it as the third
keyboard mapping, but i'm sure everyone on the list (who cares) is
able to do it by themselves, so no diff for any other files...

for those interested: bug or a feature?  the cyrillic characters in
p9's utf fonts lack a capital 'ъ'.  russian does not have it,
bulgarian does, even though we have only one word that starts with it
-- 'ъгъл', meaning 'angle'...

[9fans] keyboard maps

[Fco.J.Ballesteros]

Two of my students ({jvergara,jgato}@gsyc.escet.urjc.es) have
changed the keyboard driver to support static maps allowing
to switch at run time between them using the function keys.

The set of maps desired can be specified in the config file.
New maps can be added by creating a .c file with just the tables.

Since some of you thought it was nice to be able to change the
map through devkbmap to learn to build new tables, I'm willing to
add that feature to this driver.

I'm also willing to collect whatever kbd tables you may have built
and add them to this driver.

Let me know what you think

The driver is at http://plan9.escet.urjc.es/export/kbd.tgz
