https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D205776 Bug ID: 205776 Summary: keyboard maps use an entirely fictional ASCII character Product: Base System Version: 10.2-STABLE Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Only Me Priority: --- Component: misc Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: J.deBoynePollard-newsgroups@NTLWorld.COM kbdmap(5) documents 35 ASCII control characters. 32 C0 control characters = plus SPACE and DEL is of course only 34 characters.=20 The 35th, entirely fictional, ASCII character is "ns"; snuck in between "rs" (character #30) and "us" (character #31). There is no such ASCII character name. This fictional ASCII character can be found in three places: * The kbdmap(5) manual page. * Several keyboard layouts, including (for examples) share/vt/kbdmaps/ua.kb= d, share/vt/kbdmaps/lt.kbd, and share/vt/kbdmaps/pt.kbd * The kbdcontrol tool. A superficial analysis suggests, from the placement at [Control]+[-_], that= in most cases "us" is what was meant. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
