Hello,

I would like to add a new keymap and a new keyboard layout but I did not
find all information needed. I am able to edit the keymap via drag'n drop
on the keymap preference app, save it, and convert it to ascii with "keymap
-d" for deeper edition.

I see that keycodes like "0xC382" are used for non ascii keys. Is there a
list of all possible values somewhere ?
Also is there any documentation on the layout format ? I think I
understand the general idea, but several parts are quite cryptic to me: 
- ":-; :+4" ? 
- "d$d" : what is "d" compared to "$" (this last one is a variable if I am
correct).

Thanks,
Romain.
