Translating the other keys could work in the same way, probably with an enum for control keys such as escape or backspace. Such a translation function would be a good candidate for a small external crate, but I couldn't find one that works with scancode set 1. In case you'd like to write such a crate and need mentoring, just let us know, we're happy to help!

Translating the other keys works in the same way. Fortunately there is a crate named [`pc-keyboard`] for translating scancodes of scancode sets 1 and 2, so we don't have to implement this ourselves. To use the crate, we add it to our `Cargo.toml` and import it in our `lib.rs`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[`pc-keyboard`]: https://docs.rs/pc-keyboard/0.3.1/pc_keyboard/
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```toml
|
||||||
|
# in Cargo.toml
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[dependencies]
|
||||||
|
pc-keyboard = "0.3.1"
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```rust
|
||||||
|
// in src/lib.rs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
extern crate pc_keyboard;
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Now we can use this crate to rewrite our `keyboard_interrupt_handler`:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
```rust
|
||||||
|
// in/src/interrupts.rs
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
extern "x86-interrupt" fn keyboard_interrupt_handler(
|
||||||
|
_stack_frame: &mut ExceptionStackFrame)
|
||||||
|
{
|
||||||
|
use x86_64::instructions::port::Port;
|
||||||
|
use pc_keyboard::{Keyboard, ScancodeSet1, DecodedKey, layouts};
|
||||||
|
use spin::Mutex;
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
lazy_static! {
|
||||||
|
static ref KEYBOARD: Mutex<Keyboard<layouts::Us104Key, ScancodeSet1>> =
|
||||||
|
Mutex::new(Keyboard::new(layouts::Us104Key, ScancodeSet1));
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
let mut keyboard = KEYBOARD.lock();
|
||||||
|
let port = Port::new(0x60);
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
let scancode: u8 = unsafe { port.read() };
|
||||||
|
if let Ok(Some(key_event)) = keyboard.add_byte(scancode) {
|
||||||
|
if let Some(key) = keyboard.process_keyevent(key_event) {
|
||||||
|
match key {
|
||||||
|
DecodedKey::Unicode(character) => print!("{}", character),
|
||||||
|
DecodedKey::RawKey(key) => print!("{:?}", key),
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
unsafe { PICS.lock().notify_end_of_interrupt(KEYBOARD_INTERRUPT_ID) }
|
||||||
|
}
|
||||||
|
```
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
We use the `lazy_static` macro to create a static [`Keyboard`] object protected by a Mutex. On each interrupt, we lock the Mutex, read the scancode from the keyboard controller and pass it to the [`add_byte`] method, which translates the scancode into an `Option<KeyEvent>`. The [`KeyEvent`] contains which key caused the event and whether it was a press or release event.

|
||||||
|
[`KeyEvent`]: https://docs.rs/pc-keyboard/0.3.1/pc_keyboard/struct.KeyEvent.html
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
To interpret this key event, we pass it to the [`process_keyevent`] method, which translates the key event to a character if possible. For example, translates a press event of the `A` key to either a lowercase `a` character or an uppercase `A` character, depending on whether the shift key was pressed.
|
||||||

With this modified interrupt handler we can now write text:
