keyboard: advertise KT_DEAD2 extended diacriticals

2009-06-14T20:50:36+00:00

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.

Input: put ledstate in the keyboard notifier

2008-04-15T05:30:32+00:00

Led state should be part of the key event, like shiftstate, and not
grabbed asynchronously after the fact.

Console keyboard events and accessibility

2007-10-19T18:53:33+00:00

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.

Input: keyboard - add CapsShift lock

2007-10-11T04:49:56+00:00

There exists a CapsShift lock called KG_CAPSSHIFT, but no associated
lock/slock, here is a patch which adds CapsShift lock and slock.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

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!
