Hey everyone,

I am a bit intimidated to subscribe to a mailing list of an research OS...still being a student and not even able to write proper

English (I am german).

But I hope you can understand that.

Well, I have a little question about plan 9 as well...

After installing it on qemu, what was surprisingly easy, I wanted to use a non-qwert keyboard. But I found out that it wasn't

included. No problem, I thought, and began rewriting it. Here some links for tho layout (the last one is unfortunately german):

}

This layout is kind of tricky to implement, because it uses the caps lock key for the third level, but in my opinion it fits into plan 9, because it supports unicode pretty well. So, now, finally, my question: Where can I find more Information about

kbmap? I have searched for it quite a while and the man page does not provide very much.

P.S:

IMHO:Setting the keyboard in linux is terrible...plan 9 makes it a lot better. Thanks for your help.
