NAME
gen_keymap - 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.
- -mMINLEN, --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.
- -IDIRS, --inc=DIRS, --include=DIRS
- Add a directory to the search path.
- -oFILENAME, --output=FILENAME
- Set output file (default: stdout).
- -fFILTER, --filter=FILTER
- Include only the branches leading to these keymaps.
- -uUSEONLY, --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.)
- -sSKIP, --skip=SKIP
- Keymaps to skip.
- -t, --test
- Test the generated maps.
- --interactive
- Ask user to choose among indistinguishable keymaps.
