[README.keyboard]

The *.keytab files (located in /usr/share/applications/konsole and
~/.local/share/applications/konsole) allow you to configure the keyboard
to suit your specific environment/requirements.

Beside that you can use them to make the keyboard emit virtually any
escape sequence you want, here are some notes about the more typical
problems related to keyboards, that can be coped with this way:

- BS Hack

  While one would expect, that the Backspace key send ASCII Backspace,
  this is not the case in many Linux installations.

  The idea behind this hack is to preserve the CTRL-H.

  So the mapping is:

    CTRL-H    -> 0x08
    Backspace -> 0x7f
    Delete    -> \E[3~

- Home/End Keys

    Home     -> \E[1~
    End      -> \E[4~

  or

    Home     -> \E[H
    End      -> \E[F

Quite a lot of those key sequences are floating around.

Consult your terminfo or termcap database for the expected values.
Note that your system is not unlikely to have other keyboard databases
which have to be in sync, too (e.g. /etc/inputrc for readline(3)).

If you want to adjust things to your needs you can copy one of the *.keytab
files and edit it. The changes will take effect after restarting konsole.

In case your new keytab is likely to suit common needs, please contribute
to konsole by sending us the file.
