setkeys has been superseded by the Input category in defaultsedit.1 and by the program input_from_defaults (1). It is retained for backwards compatibility on Sun-2, Sun-3 and Sun-4 systems.
setkeys changes the kernel's keyboard translation tables, converting a keyboard to one of a number of commonly desired configurations. It takes an indication of the modifications to be performed, and optionally, the kind of keyboard attached to the user's machine. It affects all keyboard input for the machine it is run on (in or out of the window system) until that effect is superseded by rebooting, or by running `setkeys reset'.
On the Sun-2 and Sun-3 systems, the SunView functions are reflected to the outside columns of the right function pad; those right-side functions are distributed in a more complicated fashion dictated by keeping the arrow keys together; see below. Also, the Line Feed key, immediately below Return, is converted to a second Control.
On the Sun-1, lefty is the same as the default, since there is no left function pad.
This option supports a measure of backwards compatibility to programs that apply some other interpretation to the affected function keys. It allows them to access the new codes when the standard codes would be preempted by SunView functions (for instance, in a tty.1 subwindow).
Note: The keyboard type is not necessarily the same as the machine type. A Sun-1 keyboard is the VT100-style keyboard shipped with Model 100Us, while Sun-2 and Sun-3 keyboards may be attached interchangeably to Sun-2 and Sun-3 machines. A Sun-3 keyboard is distinguished by its aerodynamic housing, and the presence of Caps and Alternate keys.
Options may appear in any order, and case is not significant. The accompanying diagrams show the exact distribution of codes for each combination of keyboard and arguments to setkeys.
The command
setkeys lefty noarrows
puts the SunView functions on the right pad of the keyboard, replacing arrow keys by the corresponding right-function codes, and displacing right-function codes to the left pad.
The command:
setkeys sun1 reset
restores a Sun-1 keyboard to its original arrangement.

setkeys affects the kernel's key tables, which in turn affects all users logged in to the system.
