DESCRIPTIONThe utility allows you to read and check various parameters of the keyboard and virtual console. getmode  Get or check virtual console mode. gkbmode  Gets current keyboard mode. raw  Raw (scancode) mode. These are the raw codes generated by the keyboard. mediumraw  Medium raw (scancode) mode. This is extended medium raw mode, with keys above 127 encoded as 0, high 7 bits, low 7 bits, with the 0 bearing the 'up' flag if needed. 0 is reserved, so this shouldn't interfere with anything else. The two bytes after 0 will always have the up flag set not to interfere with older applications. This allows for 16384 different keycodes, which should be enough. xlate  Translate keycodes using keymap. These are the codes generated via the current keysym mapping. unicode  Unicode mode. gkbmeta  Gets meta key handling mode. escprefix  Specifies if pressing the meta (alt) key generates an ESC ( 33) prefix followed by the keysym. metabit  The keysym marked with the high bit set. gkbled  Get keyboard flags CapsLock, NumLock, ScrollLock (not lights). scrolllock  The scroll lock is down. numlock  The num lock is down. capslock  The caps lock is down.
