+Title: Keymaps in TTY
+
+Installing and Using Keymaps
+============================
+
+Unlike most other distributions out there
+Carbs Linux does not come preinstalled with console
+keys. You probably won't be using more than
+two either. There are two ways of using keymaps
+
+Installing the "bkeymaps" package
+---------------------------------
+
+You can get the `bkeymaps` package from the
+[KISS community repository](https://github.com/kisslinux/community).
+
+Build and install `bkeymaps`.
+
+ -> kiss b bkeymaps
+ -> kiss i bkeymaps
+
+Now you can find the keymaps in `/usr/share/bkeymaps`.
+
+
+Downloading the keymaps you require
+-----------------------------------
+
+*This will assume that you are using the us keyboard layout*
+
+You firstly will need to go to <https://dev.alpinelinux.org/bkeymaps/>
+and download the keymap you need
+
+Loading keymap, doing it on login/boot
+--------------------------------------
+
+- Run `loadkmap < file` to load the keymap.
+
+**Load keymap at login**
+
+If you want to load a keymap at login, you can
+add the command above to your `.profile` file.
+
+**Load keymap at boot**
+
+You can also load keymap during boot. You should edit
+`/lib/init/rc.boot` file and add something like
+
+ # assuming you are using trq as your keymap
+ log "Setting keymap to trq..."; {
+ loadkmap < /path/to/trq.bmap
+ }
+
+to your main function.
