English Keyboard Settings for OpenBSD 4.6

631 views Asked by At

I am newbie to UNIX. I have had a decent experience with Linux but had to shift to UNIX. I am unable to type a C code in OpenBSD 4.6 in vi or mg editor or for that matter anywhere in the console because the '<' key or '(' key does not work. After a lot of research i found that there is a command called 'kbd' which can be set to use the required character set. But the keyboard encoding options are not clear. It will be a lot of help if somebody suggests what steps can be taken.

Not sure if this was still true back in 4.6, but I'm going to guess it was: you set the keyboard mapping in /etc/wsconsctl.conf. Make sure you read man wsconsctl also.
