Hi dtk folks,
I popped into the Dec 5th meeting and got some details on things. After
my own experiments and reseach, I found the source of the 'multiple key
codes' that are emitted by keys like 'F1'. The file
'/etc/console/boottime.kmap.gz' (on my Debian system) contains this
expansion that is used. The command 'loadkeys' is used to load/reload
these values. If an alternative table can be loaded and used inside the
program and upon exit, have the orignial reloaded, then this would seem
the way to go.  This is what I have so far uncovered.
Any comments appreciated.
Cheers,
Kev
