NAME

keyfuzz - Modify keyboard scancode tables of the Linux input layer

SYNOPSIS

keyfuzz [options]

DESCRIPTION

You may use keyfuzz to manipulate the scancode/keycode translation tables of keyboard drivers supporting the Linux input layer API. ("evdev API")

OPTIONS

-g | --get

Dump the current scancode translation table of the device to STDOUT.

-s | --set

Merge the translation table passed through STDIN into the current translation table of the device.

-i | --info

Show some information about the specified device.

-d | --device=DEVICE

Use the specified event device. The virtual file /proc/bus/input/devices lists all input devices available on the local system. (Default: /dev/input/event0)

-v | --verbose

Enable verbose mode. If used together with --set all translation tables changes are printed to STDERR.

-h | --help

Show help

-v | --version

Show version

TRANSLATION TABLES

The scancode/keycode translation tables as read from STDIN or written to STDOUT are formatted as follows: lines beginning with a hashmark and empty lines are ignored. All other lines have to contain a scancode and a keycode number separated by white space. The numbers may be specified either in decimal or in hexadecimal notation. In the latter case, a 0x as to be prepended. You may save the current table by passing --get to keyfuzz and storing its output in a file. Then, you may restore the table by passing the contents of that file back to keyfuzz with --set.
