This feature is implemented by the +@command{mds-kbd2rat} server, and this section covers the +details of that server. + +If @command{mds-kbd2rat} is used, the keypad acts as a +pointing device when @kbd{num lock} is not active. It +is also possible to configure @command{mds-kbd2rat} to +disregard @kbd{num lock} and always be active, until +it receives a signal to toggle its state. For example, +if @command{mds-kbd2rat} is configured to disregard +@kbd{num lock}, @command{mds-kbdtrans} can be configured +to send to fauxkey @kbd{rat} when @kbd{alt+shift+num} +is pressed, and this key can be caught by +@command{mds-keybind} that sends a signal to +@command{mds-kbd2rat} to toggle. + +When @command{mds-kbd2rat} is active, it maps the +keypad to the rat according to the following table: + +@table @kbd +@item division +Right-hand left (primary) rat button. + +@item multiplication +Middle (modifier) rat button. + +@item subtraction +Right-hand (alternate) right rat button. + +@item addition +Scroll up. + +@item return +Scroll down. + +@item comma +Cancel actions waiting by @kbd{0} and +@kbd{5}. + +@item 0 +Hold down the next selected rat button +until that rat button is selected again. +This is a dead key, that is, you do not +have to hold it down. + +@item 1 +Cursor left down. + +@item 2 +Cursor down. + +@item 3 +Cursor right down. + +@item 4 +Cursor left. + +@item 5 +Double click with the next selected +rat button. This is a dead key, that is, +you do not have to hold it down. +If pressed twice, a triple click triggered +instead, and so on. If this key is prefixed +by @kbd{0}, the last click will be replaced +by hold down action. + +@item 6 +Cursor right. + +@item 7 +Cursor left up. + +@item 8 +Cursor up. + +@item 9 +Cursor right up. +@end table + +This table is not affected by mappings in +@command{mds-keytrans}, but it is affected +by remappings in @command{mds-kbd} and +@command{mds-kkbd}. + +@command{mds-kbd2rat} can be configured to +permute the rat button keys. It is independent +of permutations in @command{mds-rat}. -- cgit v1.2.3-70-g09d2
