+.Sh NAME
+.Nm ukbd
+.Nd USB keyboard support
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "ukbd* at uhidev?"
+.Cd "wskbd* at ukbd?"
+.Cd "option UKBD_LAYOUT=XXX"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides support for USB keyboards i.e. HID devices in the
+.Dq keyboard
+class.
+Access to the keyboard is through the
+.Xr wskbd 4
+driver.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports a number of different key mappings which
+can be chosen from with the kernel option
+.Dq UKBD_LAYOUT
+at compile time or with the utility
+.Xr wsconsctl 8
+(variable:
+.Dq keyboard.encoding )
+at runtime.
+Other mappings can be used if the whole keymap is replaced by means of
+.Xr wsconsctl 8 .
+The built-in mappings are at this time:
+.Pp
+.Bl -tag -width Ds -offset indent -compact

+.Pq us.dvorak

+.Dq Dvorak
+layout.
+.El
+.Pp
+The KB_DE, KB_DK, KB_IS, KB_NO, KB_SF, KB_SG, KB_SV and KB_TR
+mappings can be used in the KB_NODEAD
+.Pq .nodead
+variant.
+This switches off the
+.Dq dead accents .
+.Pp
+The KB_BE, KB_FR, KB_FR | KB_APPLE, KB_FR | KB_DVORAK, KB_JP, KB_UK, KB_US,
+KB_US | KB_DVORAK and KB_US | KB_COLEMAK
+mappings can be modified
+to swap the left Control and the Caps Lock keys by the
+KB_SWAPCTRLCAPS variant bit or the
+.Dq .swapctrlcaps
+suffix.
+.Pp
+The KB_METAESC
+.Pq .metaesc
+option can be applied to any layout.
+If set, keys pressed together
+with the ALT modifier are prefixed by an ESC character.
+(Standard behaviour is to add 128 to the ASCII value.)
+.Sh EXAMPLES
+To set a German keyboard layout without
+.Dq dead accents
+and sending an ESC character before the key symbol if the ALT
+key is pressed simultaneously, use
+.Ic wsconsctl keyboard.encoding=de.nodead.metaesc .
+To set it at kernel build time, add the following
+to the kernel configuration file:
+.Bd -literal -offset indent
+option UKBD_LAYOUT="(KB_DE|KB_NODEAD|KB_METAESC)"

+.Xr wsconsctl 8
+.Sh HISTORY
+The
+.Nm
+driver
+appeared in
+.Nx 1.4 .
+.Ox
+support was added in
+.Ox 2.8 .
+.Sh BUGS
+The
+.Nm
+driver is brought into action rather late in the boot process, so if
+it is used as the console driver then
+.Xr ddb 4
+is not usable until late in the boot.
+.Pp
+The list of built-in mappings doesn't follow any logic.
+It grew as people submitted what they needed.
