+.Nm pckbd
+.Nd PC keyboard driver for wscons
+.Sh SYNOPSIS
+.Cd "pckbd* at pckbc?"
+.Cd "pckbd* at gsckbc?" Pq hppa
+.Cd "wskbd* at pckbd?"
+.Cd "option PCKBD_LAYOUT=XXX"
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+This driver supports PC/AT keyboards within the
+.Xr wscons 4
+console framework.
+It doesn't provide direct device driver entry points but makes its
+functions available via the internal
+.Xr wskbd 4
+interface.
+.Pp
+The
+.Nm
+driver supports a number of different key mappings which
+can be chosen from with the kernel option
+.Dq PCKBD_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

+.It KB_US | KB_COLEMAK
+.Pq us.colemak
+English/US keyboard with
+.Dq Colemak
+layout.
+.It KB_US | KB_DECLK
+.Pq us.declk
+English/US mapping for
+DEC LK400-style keyboards with PC keyboard interface (eg LK461).
+.It KB_US | KB_DVORAK
+.Pq us.dvorak
+English/US keyboard with
+.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_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.)
+.Pp
+Because PC keyboard hardware doesn't contain a beeper, requests for
+.Dq keyboard beeps
+cannot be handled directly.
+On alpha and i386, a helper device attached to the pcppi
+driver allows use of the standard ISA speaker for this purpose.
+.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 PCKBD_LAYOUT="(KB_DE|KB_NODEAD|KB_METAESC)"

+The list of built-in mappings doesn't follow any logic.
+It grew as people submitted what they needed.
