Configuring the Keymapping

From LaneWiki

Note: The keymapping code only works with the Tk registers in the current (0.20050314) version. See bug 14.

This data is stored in the SysString register-keymap. Use LanePOS/backOffice/tkOffice/sysStrings to edit the setting graphically or

LanePOS/backOffice/utilities/update-sysStrings register-keymap < tmpfile

and

LanePOS/backOffice/utilities/cat-sysStrings register-keymap > tmpfile

to edit it at the command line.

The following is the format of the data in that sysString:

keyname=function

For example,

F1=plu1
F2=plu2
F9=disc2
SunF36=yes
SunF37=no
F19=tender0
F12=ra
F11=cust
F15=errCorrect
F16=cancel
F13=suspend
F14=resume
KP_Decimal=zeroZero

The keyname is the symbolic keyname reported by X11 (use xev to view these).
