X Keyboard Extension

--------------------

The X Keyboard (XKB) Extension essentially replaces the core protocol

definition of a keyboard. The extension makes it possible to specify

clearly and explicitly most aspects of keyboard behaviour on a per-key

basis, and to track more closely the logical and physical state of a

keyboard. It also includes a number of keyboard controls designed to

make keyboards more accessible to people with physical impairments.

There are five components that define a complete keyboard mapping:

symbols, geometry, keycodes, compat, and types; these five components

can be combined together using the 'rules' component of the database

provided by this project, xkeyboard-config.

The complete specification for the XKB Extension can be found here:

xkeyboard-config

----------------

This project provides a consistent, well-structured, frequently

released, open source database of keyboard configuration data. The

project is targeted to XKB-based systems.

For XKB configuration information, see:

  docs/README.config

For information on how to enhance the database itself, see:

  docs/README.enhancing

For information on how to replace an older XKB configuration database

with the one provided by this project, see:

  docs/HOWTO.transition
