Structure

Keyboard input

With showkey you can see what keycodes are produced on the console. The keycodes are the result of a translation of the scancodes, which are the actual output of the keyboard. The scancodes can be made visible by showkey -s, and by getkeycodes.

The system keymap is the translation table which converts keycodes to strings. The system keymap is a plain ASCII file which is loaded by loadkeys (use dumpkeys to show it).
