<P><B>Emulate Caps Lock</B>:
<P>For some keyboards (e.g. Russian, Greek) there are problems with
the default <B>CapsLock</B> behavior. 
If you activate this option, 
you instruct the <I>International Keyboard</I>
to emulate <B>CapsLock</B> in order to fix this problem. 
The ``Caps Lock'' state (on or off) is then indicated by the color of the 
keyboard-indicator button instead of
the corresponding keyboard LED.
<P><B>World Menu</B>:
<P>If you activate this option, 
you can get a <I>International Keyboard</I>
pop-up menu in any active window by pressing and holding
down the <B>Switch</B>
key combination  until the menu appears.
<P><B>Save Classes</B>:
<P>If the the selection in the <B>Input</B> section (see below) is 
``<B>Class</B>'', you may
activate the ``<B>Save Classes</B>'' option so that
the  
association of a given keyboard map with a given class
of windows is automatically saved at the end of each KDE Session,
and restored at the beginning of the next session. This means
that, for example,  if  the
the Russian keyboard map is selected for use in your <CODE>Kedit</CODE> 
windows when you log out
today, you will get it automatically in your <CODE>Kedit</CODE> windows
when you log in tomorrow.
<P>
<P>
<P><B> Keyboard codes</B>:
<P>The pull-down menu allows you  to choose to use 
the keyboard codes native to your particular type of keyboard, instead of
the <B>X default codes</B> used by the X Window system.
<P>
<P>
<P><B>Input</B>:
<P>This determines how the keyboard maps are associated
with different windows.
You can select one of three choices:
<P>
<UL>
<LI>``<B>Global</B>'' - 
the current keyboard map applies to <B>all</B> windows.</LI>
<LI>`` <B>Window</B>'' - 
a separate keyboard map is associated with
<B>each top level window</B>, and inherited by  each lower-level
window created from
within  it.
When  the active window changes, the keyboard map will change
to the map associated with the active window.</LI>
<LI>``<B>Class</B>'' - 
a separate keyboard map is 
associated with  <B>each class
of window</B>
(generally, the <I>class</I> of a window corresponds to
to the application that opens it).  For example, if this
selection is made, and you switch to the
Russian keyboard
in any window in which the <CODE>Kedit</CODE> program is running, 
you will automatically also get the Russian keyboard in any
other <CODE>Kedit</CODE> window, until you switch keyboards again.</LI>
