NAME

gen_keymap β€” generate a keyboard map decision tree

SYNOPSIS

gen_keymap list ...

DESCRIPTION

gen_keymap generates a decision tree from a set of keyboard maps which can be used to help a user decide which keyboard map to use. The program using the decision tree typically asks the user to press some keys; at each step, it examines the returned keycode and uses it to prune the list of possible keyboard maps until there is only one left.

OPTIONS
--version

Show program’s version number and exit.

- ?, --help

Show help text.

-v , --verbose

Be more verbose.

-m MINLEN , --minlen = MINLEN

Too-short keymaps are skipped (default: 30 entries).

-g , --graph

Generate a hopefully-nice-looking .dot file.

--maps

Print the to-be-processed keymaps

-i , --installer

Input files are in d-i map form.

-I DIRS , --inc = DIRS , --include = DIRS

Add a directory to the search path.

-o FILENAME , --output = FILENAME

Set output file (default: stdout).

-f FILTER , --filter = FILTER

Include only the branches leading to these keymaps.

-u USEONLY , --useonly = USEONLY

Start generating the tree based only on these keymaps. (The difference between --filter and --useonly is that the former generates the whole tree and then prunes it, while the latter only generates a reduced tree to begin with. This may have implications for performance on large trees.)

-s SKIP , --skip = SKIP

Keymaps to skip.

-t , --test

Test the generated maps.

--interactive

Ask user to choose among indistinguishable keymaps.
