- X Keyboard Extension
- --------------------
-
- The X Keyboard Extension essentially replaces the core protocol definition of
- keyboard. The extension makes possible to clearly and explicitly specify most
- aspects of keyboard behaviour on per-key basis and to more closely track the
- logical and physical state of the keyboard. It also includes a number of
- keyboard controls designed to make keyboards more accessible to people with
- physical impairments.
-
- There are five types of components in the server database corresponing to five
- xkb symbolic names: symbols, geometry, keycodes, compat and types which
- determine the keyboard behaviour. These five components can combined together
- into a resulting keyboard mapping using the 'rules' component.
-
- The complete specification can be found on
- http://www.x-docs.org/XKB/XKBproto.pdf
-
- For XKB configuration information see 'README.config' file.
-
- For information how to further enhance XKB configuration see 'README.enhancing'
- file.
