Yes, I did look at the source but wasn’t sure about the implications. I gather that removing the KS_ or K*_L*_ prefix from the defines yields the entities I can use for wsconsctl. Ok, that helps somewhat. I’m still confused about the 2-4 columns in the keycode = <1> <2> <3> <4> syntax. No documentation insight for that, AFAICT. The first 2 seem to be <plain key> <shift><plain key>. But what are the last two columns? `wsconsctl keyboard.map` does not seem to show show all keycodes. For the de layout the first entry is 'keycode 4 = a A‘. What about keycode 1-3 (or 0-3 depending on where the values start)? Maybe that is normal because keyboards don’t actually use all keycodes? Who knows? And some Apple keyboards also have an <fn> key which acts as a modifier. I don’t see that mentioned anywhere. Or is that the KS_Mode_switch? Thanks for your help! Mike
