wskbd driver handles common tasks for keyboards
  within the wscons(4) framework.
  It is attached to the hardware specific keyboard drivers and provides their
  connection to “wsdisplay” devices and a character device
  interface.
The common keyboard support consists of:
The wskbd driver provides a number of
    ioctl functions to control key maps and other parameters. These functions
    are accessible though the associated “wsdisplay” device as
    well. A complete list is in
    /usr/include/dev/wscons/wsconsio.h. The
    wsconsctl(8) utility allows
    to access key maps and other variables.
The console locator in the configuration line refers to the device's use as input part of the operating system console. A device specification containing a positive value here will only match if the device is in use as system console. (The console device selection in early system startup is not influenced.) This way, the console device can be connected to a known wskbd device instance.

KB_NODEAD ( “.nodead”) can
    be applied to layouts with “dead accents” to switch them
  off.
The KB_US, KB_UK,
    KB_FR, KB_JP and
    KB_US|KB_DVORAK mappings can be modified to swap the
    left CTRL and the CAPS LOCK keys by the
    KB_SWAPCTRLCAPS variant bit or the
    “.swapctrlcaps” suffix.
The KB_METAESC ( “.metaesc”)
    option can be applied to any layout. If set, keys pressed together with the
    ALT modifier are prefixed by an ESC character. (Standard behaviour is to add
    128 to the ASCII value.)
