Keycomp Error Messages - LXE MX8 Reference Manual

Creating Custom Key Maps
In addition, certain keymaps are used for special adjustment functions within the keyboard driver,
via the CHANGE+mapname specification:
MAP_VOLUM
MAP_CONTR
MAP_BRITE
When these maps are selected, the keyboard driver handles the up arrow and down arrow as
adjusting the particular parameter up and down, and any other key exits the adjustment state. Keys
in these modes are handled completely inside the keyboard driver, and are not propagated to the
operating system.
Key codes are defined by COLxROWx=scancode. Scancode has a number of options, as
follows:
VK_code
'x'
SHIFT+VK_code
SHIFT+'x'
ACTION+code
CHANGE+mapname
OPEN
Valid ACTION codes are as follows:
SCAN1
KY_ALPHA
Note that specifying the power button in a different location will affect suspend/resume functions.
