<title>Keyboard</title>
<para>
Wine now needs to know about your keyboard layout. This
requirement comes from a need from many apps to have the
correct scancodes available, since they read these directly,
instead of just taking the characters returned by the X
server. This means that Wine now needs to have a mapping from
X keys to the scancodes these programs expect.
</para>
<para>
On startup, Wine will try to recognize the active X layout by
seeing if it matches any of the defined tables. If it does,
everything is alright. If not, you need to define it.
</para>
<para>
To do this, open the file
<filename>dlls/x11drv/keyboard.c</filename> and take a look
at the existing tables. Make a backup copy of it, especially
if you don't use CVS.
</para>
<para>
What you really would need to do, is find out which scancode
each key needs to generate. Find it in the
<function>main_key_scan</function> table, which looks like
this:
</para>
<programlisting>
static const int main_key_scan[MAIN_LEN] =
{
/* this is my (102-key) keyboard layout, sorry if it doesn't quite match yours */
0x29,0x02,0x03,0x04,0x05,0x06,0x07,0x08,0x09,0x0A,0x0B,0x0C,0x0D,
0x10,0x11,0x12,0x13,0x14,0x15,0x16,0x17,0x18,0x19,0x1A,0x1B,
0x1E,0x1F,0x20,0x21,0x22,0x23,0x24,0x25,0x26,0x27,0x28,0x2B,
0x2C,0x2D,0x2E,0x2F,0x30,0x31,0x32,0x33,0x34,0x35,
0x56 /* the 102nd key (actually to the right of l-shift) */
};
</programlisting>
<para>
Next, assign each scancode the characters imprinted on the
keycaps. This was done (sort of) for the US 101-key keyboard,
which you can find near the top in
<filename>keyboard.c</filename>. It also shows that if there
is no 102nd key, you can skip that.
</para>
<para>
However, for most international 102-key keyboards, we have
done it easy for you. The scancode layout for these already
pretty much matches the physical layout in the
<function>main_key_scan</function>, so all you need to do is
to go through all the keys that generate characters on your
main keyboard (except spacebar), and stuff those into an
appropriate table. The only exception is that the 102nd key,
which is usually to the left of the first key of the last line
(usually <keycap>Z</keycap>), must be placed on a separate
line after the last line.
</para>
<para>
For example, my Norwegian keyboard looks like this
</para>
<screen>
§ ! " # ¤ % & / ( ) = ? ` Back-
| 1 2@ 3£ 4$ 5 6 7{ 8[ 9] 0} + \´ space
Tab Q W E R T Y U I O P Å ^
¨~
Enter
Caps A S D F G H J K L Ø Æ *
Lock '
Sh- > Z X C V B N M ; : _ Shift
ift &lt; , . -
Ctrl Alt Spacebar AltGr Ctrl
</screen>
<para>
Note the 102nd key, which is the <keycap>&lt;></keycap> key, to
the left of <keycap>Z</keycap>. The character to the right of
the main character is the character generated by
<keycap>AltGr</keycap>.
</para>
<para>
This keyboard is defined as follows:
</para>
<programlisting>
static const char main_key_NO[MAIN_LEN][4] =
{
"|§","1!","2\"@","3#£","4¤$","5%","6&","7/{","8([","9)]","0=}","+?","\\´",
"qQ","wW","eE","rR","tT","yY","uU","iI","oO","pP","åÅ","¨^~",
"aA","sS","dD","fF","gG","hH","jJ","kK","lL","øØ","æÆ","'*",
"zZ","xX","cC","vV","bB","nN","mM",",;",".:","-_",
"&lt;>"
};
</programlisting>
<para>
Except that " and \ needs to be quoted with a backslash, and
that the 102nd key is on a separate line, it's pretty
straightforward.
</para>
<para>
After you have written such a table, you need to add it to the
<function>main_key_tab[]</function> layout index table. This
will look like this:
</para>
<programlisting>
static struct {
WORD lang, ansi_codepage, oem_codepage;
const char (*key)[MAIN_LEN][4];
} main_key_tab[]={
...
...
{MAKELANGID(LANG_NORWEGIAN,SUBLANG_DEFAULT), 1252, 865, &amp;main_key_NO},
...
</programlisting>
<para>
After you have added your table, recompile Wine and test that
it works. If it fails to detect your table, try running
</para>
<screen>
wine --debugmsg +key,+keyboard >& key.log
</screen>
<para>
and look in the resulting <filename>key.log</filename> file to
find the error messages it gives for your layout.
</para>
<para>
Note that the <constant>LANG_*</constant> and
<constant>SUBLANG_*</constant> definitions are in
<filename>include/winnls.h</filename>, which you might need to
know to find out which numbers your language is assigned, and
find it in the debugmsg output. The numbers will be
<literal>(SUBLANG * 0x400 + LANG)</literal>, so, for example
the combination <literal>LANG_NORWEGIAN (0x14)</literal> and
<literal>SUBLANG_DEFAULT (0x1)</literal> will be (in hex)
<literal>14 + 1*400 = 414</literal>, so since I'm Norwegian, I
could look for <literal>0414</literal> in the debugmsg output
to find out why my keyboard won't detect.
</para>
<para>
Once it works, submit it to the Wine project. If you use CVS,
you will just have to do
</para>
<screen>
cvs -z3 diff -u dlls/x11drv/keyboard.c > layout.diff
</screen>
<para>
from your main Wine directory, then submit
<filename>layout.diff</filename> to
<email>wine-patches@winehq.org</email> along with a brief note
of what it is.
</para>
<para>
If you don't use CVS, you need to do
</para>
<screen>
diff -u the_backup_file_you_made dlls/x11drv/keyboard.c > layout.diff
</screen>
<para>
and submit it as explained above.
</para>
<para>
If you did it right, it will be included in the next Wine
release, and all the troublesome programs (especially
remote-control programs) and games that use scancodes will
be happily using your keyboard layout, and you won't get those
annoying fixme messages either.

After Win3.x, the registry became a fundamental part of Windows.
It is the place where both Windows itself, and all
Win95/98/NT/2000/whatever-compliant applications, store
Win95/98/NT/2000/XP/etc.-compliant applications, store
configuration and state data. While most sane system
administrators (and Wine developers) curse badly at the twisted
