Description Oliver Fromme 2005-11-20 20:10:22 UTC 
When I tried to configure my keyboard under syscons so that
I can use Ctrl-Left and Ctrl-Right to jump word-wise left
and right, it turned out that the documentation was somewhat
sub-optimal.  There is no "big picture", and information is
spread across various manual pages, which are sometimes not
even mentioned in the "SEE ALSO" sections.  In fact, I had
to resort to reading kernel sources to find out the number
of function keys that are supported, among other things --
this isn't documented at all.

The small patch below clarifies a few things in the kbdmap(5)
manual page and points people in the right direction who try
to do similar things.

How-To-Repeat: 
man 5 kbdmap
