[Question] Keyboard Layouts for DragonFly BSD

As I've got some time free I thought I'd try out BSD, specifically
DragonFly BSD although I'm not particularly wedded to it. In the post-
install configuration stage when selecting a keyboard layout, I see a
couple of uk keyboards:


    uk.cp850-ctrl.kbd
    uk.cp850.kbd
    uk.iso-ctrl.kbd
    uk.iso.kbd

A quick google for cp850 gave me
[this](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Code_page_850) Wikipedia page,
and I believe it'd be the layout I want (that naively being the
keyboard `loadkeys uk` gives on Linux). But I'm still left with the
question of what the difference between the cp850 and cp850-ctrl
layouts are. Anyone able to give advice? Cheers.

If you diff the files: it looks like the -ctrl files map Capslock to
LCTRL.

Ah, thank you :). I was logged in as the installer user rather than
root, so didn't think to use diff.
