NAME

       xkbcli-interactive-evdev — interactive debugger for X Keyboard keymaps

SYNOPSIS

       xkbcli-interactive-evdev [options] [KEYMAP_PATH]

DESCRIPTION

       xkbcli-interactive-evdev  is  a  commandline  tool  to  interactively  debug  XKB keymaps by listening to
       /dev/input/eventX evdev devices.

       xkbcli-interactive-evdev requires permission to open the evdev device nodes.  This usually requires being
       the “root” user or belonging to the “input” group.

       Press the ⟨Escape⟩ key to exit.

       This is a debugging tool, its behavior or output is not guaranteed to be stable.

       KEYMAP_PATH
               Path to a keymap file, or “-” to read the standard input

       --help  Print help and exit

       --verbose
               Enable verbose debugging output

       --include PATH
               Add the given path to the include path list.  This option is order-dependent, include paths given
               first are searched first.  If an include path is given, the default  include  path  list  is  not
               used.  Use --include-defaults to add the default include paths.

       --include-defaults
               Add  the default set of include directories.  This option is order-dependent, include paths given
               first are searched first.

       --format keymap_format
               Specify the keymap format (numeric or label, e.g. “v1”)

       --rules rules
               The XKB ruleset

       --model model
               The XKB model

       --layout layout
               The XKB layout

       --variant variant
               The XKB layout variant

       --option options
               The XKB options

       --enable-environment-names
               Allow to set the default RMLVO values via the following environment variables:
               -   XKB_DEFAULT_RULES
               -   XKB_DEFAULT_MODEL
               -   XKB_DEFAULT_LAYOUT
               -   XKB_DEFAULT_VARIANT
               -   XKB_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
               Note that this option may affect the default values of the previous options.

       --keymap file
               Specify a keymap path.  This option is mutually exclusive with the RMLVO options.

               Enable Compose functionality

       --consumed-mode {xkb|gtk}
               Set the consumed modifiers mode (default: xkb)

       --without-x11-offset
               Don't add an offset of 8 when converting an evdev keycode to an XKB keycode.  You probably  don't
               want this option.

       --report-state-changes
               Report changes to the keyboard state

       -1, --uniline
               Enable uniline event output.
