device = <full device name>
This key defines the keyboard in use. It must be the keyboard device's full name; in general, this should only be set by the Preferences manager application.
device = U.S. Keyboard
driver = <driver file name>
This key goes with the device key and defines the driver file name to be loaded. This should be set by the Preferences manager.
driver = kbd.geo
keyboardTypematic = <number>
This key defines both the repeat speed and delay before repeat for the keyboard. The number is an integer less than 128 (the high bit is ignored), and it is interpreted as three separate fields, as below:
bit 7 ignored bit 6-5 DELAY (see below) bit 4-3 PE (exponent portion of repeat period) bit 2-0 PM (mantissa portion of repeat period)
The delay is calculated by the following formula: delay = 1 second + (DELAY * 250 ms) +/- 20%
The period is calculated by the following formula period = (8 + PM) * (2^PE) * 0.00417 seconds
If no typematic number is specified, GEOS sets the default to 44, which represents a medium delay and a medium repeat period.
keyboardTypematic = 0 ; short delay, fast repeat keyboardTypematic = 127 ; long dalay, slow repeat
keyboardDoesLEDs = <Boolean>
If true, this key tells GEOS that the XT-class machine it's running on supports BIOS-updated LEDs for Num Lock, Caps Lock, and Scroll Lock. Most XT-class machines do not support updating these LEDs. This field is unnecessary on AT-class and more advanced machines.
keyboardDoesLEDs = true keyboardDoesLEDs = false
keyboardAltGr = <Boolean>
If true, this key makes the right Alt key function like Ctrl-Alt, as with many European setups.
keyboardAltGr = true keyboardAltGr = false
keyboardShiftRelStr = <Boolean>
If true, this key makes the Shift keys release the Caps Lock, as with typewriters.
keyboardShiftRelStr = true keyboardShiftRelStr = false
keyboardSwapCtrl = <Boolean>
If true, this key swaps the left Ctrl key with the Caps Lock key so the keyboard acts like many non-PC keyboards.
keyboardSwapCtrl = true keyboardSwapCtrl = false
