# aux/kbfind Finds the correct `/dev/kbmap` entry for a non-working key on your keyboard, in 9front. ## Process 1) after installing (`mk install`) run `aux/kbfind`. 2) press the non-working key _once_ 3) press any other _working_ key _once_ (or Delete to exit) 4) go to step 2 If the key was not mapped before and is producing scancodes, eventually the program will print out the needed entry that needs to be put into `/dev/kbmap` for the key to work. Replace the last `0` of that entry to whichever Rune you want your key to produce, converted to a number, see `/sys/include/keyboard.h` for some of the existing "special" keys. ## How does this work Unmapped entries in `/dev/kbmap` have the Rune (third number) set to 0. `aux/kbfind` sets those entries to a custom Rune and awaits for key presses to be available on `/dev/kbd`. If the custom Rune was found the entries currently enabled are cut into half to see whether the key would still produce the rune. If not, the other half is enabled instead and the process is repeated, cutting the number of keys to test in half every time.
