  • 5a7e3d128   keyboard: advertise KT_DEAD2 extended diacriticals ... Browse Code »

    In addition to KT_DEAD which has limited support for diacriticals,
    there is KT_DEAD2 that can support 256 criticals, so let's advertise
    it in .

    This lets userland know abut the drivers/char/keyboard.c function
    k_dead2, which supports more than the few trivial ones that k_dead
    supports.

  • 41ab4396e   Console keyboard events and accessibility ... Browse Code »

    Some blind people use a kernel engine called Speakup which uses hardware
    synthesis to speak what gets displayed on the screen. They use the
    PC keyboard to control this engine (start/stop, accelerate, ...) and
    also need to get keyboard feedback (to make sure to know what they are
    typing, the caps lock status, etc.)

    Up to now, the way it was done was very ugly. Below is a patch to add a
    notifier list for permitting a far better implementation, see ChangeLog
    above for details.

    You may wonder why this can't be done at the input layer. The problem
    is that what people want to monitor is the console keyboard, i.e. all
    input keyboards that got attached to the console, and with the currently
    active keymap (i.e. keysyms, not only keycodes).

    This adds a keyboard notifier that such modules can use to get the keyboard
    events and possibly eat them, at several stages:

    - keycodes: even before translation into keysym.
    - unbound keycodes: when no keysym is bound.
    - unicode: when the keycode would get translated into a unicode character.
    - keysym: when the keycode would get translated into a keysym.
    - post_keysym: after the keysym got interpreted, so as to see the result
    (caps lock, etc.)

    This also provides access to k_handler so as to permit simulation of
    keypresses.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
