New subject: [PATCH] Adds the get-key-map word to the keyboard node.

4 Nov 2012

The get-key-map word is used by Bootx to determine which key is being held down at startup time. Since the Command key can't be detected in QEMU, the Control key is used instead. If the user holds down Control-v while Mac OS X starts up in QEMU, get-key-map will report that Command-v is being held down. Allowing the user to have Mac OS X to boot up in Verbose mode.
I was able to verify that this word works when I tested it out in the file forth.c, but I don't know how to access this word here in the adb_kbd.c file. Comments, suggestions, and commits are always welcomed.
