Hello to everyone.
I have two keyboard layouts: us and ru.
Is it possible to print # symbol in non-english layout?
I use Obsidian and for writing hash tags I switch to English layout. That's inconvenient.
In Windows I can use combination ALT-35

When I startx, it says "Keyboard" is not a valid section name. I read some xorg.conf and tried an "InputDevice" section with "CoreKeyboard" as an Identifier. Now it says it must have a Driver line. At this point I thought I had...
Attaching a patch to get keyboard backlight working on new-ish(?) thinkpads , such as Thinkpad T14 Gen2. Probably works on other newer thinkpad models.
Patch is based on https://reviews.freebsd.org/D14103 which seems to be in limbo since 2019. The keyboard stuff backported and tested on...
I've done it for years and years but only recently learned it's call "zaphod": two or more independent X displays running connected to the same machine, but each display being its own X11 environment. Nvidia has well supported this for many years and I use NVidia GPUs so works for me.
However...

In KDE/X11, the keyboard layout is fixed to US, I can not change it for the GUI.
Setting sddm_lang in rc.conf changes the language of the greeter, but not the keyboard...
I'm going to make a headless installation on my "new" (used) home server, a semi-professional NAS box for SOHO that I "shot" in an auction on the internet. I'll follow the instructions of 2-3 guides that can be found easily on the net, the only difference beeing that I'll use DHCP instead of a...
Hey, I want to use some functionality like keyboard layers and if a key is held down, it behaves like another combo key etc. This can be done on Linux by using the kmonad program, which is not available for freebsd, and I think some people trying to bring to freebsd were struggling with it...
One of the reasons I'm not switching to Chromium is this little wonder of an extension:

It seems to be little known, so here you have it, keyboard lovers.

How to turn on keyboard backlight programmatically?
Echoing 0 to /dev/led/thinklight turns it off, as well as sysctl dev.acpi_ibm.0.thinklight=0, but I couldn't find a way to turn it on.
Thanks for ideas!
...lock.
basically, as the title says, I've been experiencing a slight slowdown (probably 1 or 2 seconds) when activating the caps lock on my keyboard. It's a bit annoying sometimes, but I wanted to know if there's any way to get rid of this problem. Thanks!
btw my keyboard is a lenovo SK-8825...
Where are they configured in the system? When not running X or a wayland window manager, alt-Fn is used to change tty. Where is this keyboard shortcut specified in the system? Can it be changed?
Also why the window manager (i use sway) refuses to change tty from the tty that is running sway to...
FreeBSD 14.3 here.
The saga begins with a K70 Corsair keyboard and a Logitech mouse, a fresh FreeBSD 14.3 install and xorg-server-21.1.18_1,1 with xfce4 as my desktop (not that the latter is relevant). My keyboard and mouse are on an Anker hub.
If I boot with hw.usb.usbhid.enable=0:

I just got myself a really nice Lemokey X1 QMK/VIA Wired Mechanical Keyboard. With brown switches only 18.94 € on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CTJR6KJ8
The problem is that FreeBSD does not see the keypresses from this keyboard.
I have FreeBSD 14.3-RELEASE-p5 and sway v1.11_1. From...
I decided to coreboot my t480 after installing freebsd and now my function keys have decided not to work at all in freebsd. They worked fine back with the stock firmware, showing up in when running
misc/kbdscan, but after corebooting, they've since stopped functioning completely. I have the...
...installed FreeBSD 14.3, then added the xorg and xfce packages as described in the handbook.
Everything works quite well, except for the keyboard layout setting. The default config files contain the following sections:
# /usr/local/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-evdev-kbd.conf
Section "InputClass"...
As the title says, I am looking for a keyboard that meets my requirements.
What I want:
- Full keyboard (with numpad)
- German layout
- Backlight (white)
- Silent
The keyboard needs to be usable with FreeBSD, so no required Windows app for backlight control or similar stuff.
What I tried out...
Hello!
I am using FreeBSD-14.3 on a HP envy laptop with mate desktop and I am happy with it in general.
But since the beginning there is a thing that is annoying... when I am writing text (and it already happened while I am writing this text) the cursor jumps to another part of the text. It...
When switching between vt terminals from X using Ctrl-Alt-F#, the keyboard partially locks up. Ctrl-Alt-F# and arrow keys still work, but terminal console input can't be typed in, unless, I switch from another terminal console first with Ctrl-Alt-F#. This has been an issue since from previous...
