In order to set up your keyboard for use in Folk you need to create a keyboard claim like this (taken from the folk0 instance):

Claim $this is a keyboard with path /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd

This page will walk you through creating your own keyboard claim for use in Folk.

In a virtual program paste this program:

</code> proc is_keyboard {device} {

  set properties [udevadm_properties $device]
  if {$properties eq ""} {
  return false
  }
  # Check if device is a keyboard and not a mouse
  set isKeyboard [string match *ID_INPUT_KEYBOARD=1* $properties]
  set isMouse [string match *ID_INPUT_MOUSE=1* $properties]
  return [expr {$isKeyboard && !$isMouse}]

}

set result [exec ls /dev/input/by-path] set keyboards [list]

foreach device $result {

  set fullDevice "/dev/input/by-path/$device"
  set keyboardCheck [is_keyboard $fullDevice]
  if {$keyboardCheck} {
  lappend keyboards $fullDevice
  }

}

Wish $this is outlined white foreach kb $keyboards {

  Wish $this is labelled "$kb"
  puts "---\nKeyboard claim: Claim \$this is a keyboard with path $kb\n---\n"

} </code>

When you hit save this will display the connected keyboard's path on the table:

and in the journal (make journal):

Nov 13 20:18:45 folk0 make[39865]: ---
Nov 13 20:18:45 folk0 make[39865]: Keyboard claim: Claim $this is a keyboard with path /dev/input/by-path/platform-i8042-serio-0-event-kbd
Nov 13 20:18:45 folk0 make[39865]: ---

Put this claim into a new virtual program and hit print. Tape this to the bottom of your keyboard and you now have a keyboard with an attached editor:
