System: NetBSD radl.falu.nl 3.0 NetBSD 3.0 (Radls Doordringend Onjuiste Akkoord) #0: Sat Jan 28 16:44:07 CET 2006 root@radl.falu.nl:/usr/src/sys/arch/amd64/compile/RADL amd64
Architecture: x86_64
Machine: amd64
>Description:
The file /sys/dev/pckbport/wskbdmap_mfii.c maps the <--- key only
to
KC(14), KS_Cmd_ResetEmul, KS_Delete,
Given the religious wars between the groups which want that key
to produce Backspace and those who want DEL, it would be very
useful if *at the very least* the <--- key could produce both of
them, one unshifted and the other shifted. Real terminals often
even have a preference where you can choose which character is
the unshifted one.
On USB keyboards, the situation is reversed, where ythe <--- key
only produces Backspace and has no option for DEL.
>How-To-Repeat:
On a wscons console with ps/2 keyboard, wonder how to get a
Backspace character. Fail to find it (apart from Control+H).
>Fix:
(for wskbdmap_mfii.c)
KC(14), KS_Cmd_ResetEmul, KS_Delete, KS_BackSpace,
or (my preference)
KC(14), KS_Cmd_ResetEmul, KS_BackSpace, KS_Delete,
-Olaf.
