From 43c831468b3d26dbe8f2e061ccaf1abaf9cc1b8b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nanno Langstraat Date: Mon, 14 Oct 2013 16:07:15 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] HID: apple: option to swap the 'Option' ("Alt") and 'Command' ("Flag") keys. Use case: people who use both Apple and PC keyboards regularly, and desire to keep&use their PC muscle memory. A particular use case: an Apple compact external keyboard connected to a PC laptop. (This use case can't be covered well by X.org key remappings etc.) Signed-off-by: Nanno Langstraat Signed-off-by: Jiri Kosina --- drivers/hid/hid-apple.c | 22 ++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 22 insertions(+) diff --git a/drivers/hid/hid-apple.c b/drivers/hid/hid-apple.c index 881cf7b..3b219b9 100644 --- a/drivers/hid/hid-apple.c +++ b/drivers/hid/hid-apple.c @@ -46,6 +46,12 @@ module_param(iso_layout, uint, 0644); MODULE_PARM_DESC(iso_layout, "Enable/Disable hardcoded ISO-layout of the keyboard.
