[PATCH] platform/x86: thinkpad_acpi: add adaptive_kbd_modes parameter

From: Eric Wong
Date: Thu Nov 15 2018 - 02:34:58 EST


This bitmap parameter allows the user to add/remove modes for
DFR_CHANGE_ROW to cycle through.

Users who wish to cycle through WEB_BROWSER_MODE and/or
WEB_CONFERENCE_MODE may now do so by enabling corresponding bits.

While some appreciate more modes, I made this feature because I
wanted to lock the keyboard into FUNCTION_MODE. This is because
my Fn key (DFR_CHANGE_ROW) is mapped to Escape, and my "Esc" key
is mapped to grave/asciitilde to match the layout of a regular
keyboard.

The default remains unchanged with the DFR_CHANGE_ROW key
toggling between HOME_MODE and FUNCTION_MODE. Thus the
default "adaptive_kbd_modes" value is 9, but I use 8:

echo 8 >/sys/devices/platform/thinkpad_acpi/adaptive_kbd_modes

The above setting with this change and the following keymap
preserves my sanity on the atrocious adaptive keyboard on
the 2nd-gen X1 Carbon:

{
echo keymaps 0-255
# Esc key maps to '`' or '~'
echo keycode 1 = grave asciitilde

# Fn key maps to Escape
echo keycode 143 = Escape

# Home and End on the keyboard map to Control
echo keycode 102 = Control
echo keycode 107 = Control
} | loadkeys -

Or with the following xmodmaprc:

remove Control = Control_L
remove Lock = Control_L
keycode 9 = grave asciitilde grave
keycode 110 = Control_L NoSymbol Control_L
keycode 115 = Control_L NoSymbol Control_L
keycode 151 = Escape NoSymbol Escape
add Control = Control_L

+sysfs device attribute: adaptive_kbd_modes
+
+This bitmap attribute controls the modes the "Fn" key is allowed
+to cycle through. The value can be read and set. Enabled bits
+correspond to the modes above (that is, the first bit is "Home mode"
+and the fourth bit "Function mode").
+
+The default value is 9, which allows cycling between Home and Function modes.
+Setting and unsetting corresponding bits allows adding or removing modes
+to cycle through.
