should use kcmikbd program to create and modify you personal configuration.
Then you start KiKbd or kcmikbd for the first time it will copy system
default configuration to you personal.

Emulate CapsLock
For some keyboards (for example Russian) there is some problems with
default Xserver CapsLock behavior. You can use KiKbdemulated CapsLock to fix this problem. With CapsLock emulated you can control Caps state by the color of the KiKbdbutton instead of the keyboard Led.
Input
You can select one of the:
- Global - "standard" behavior, your keyboard applies to all windows.
- Window - "extended" behavior, each toplevel window remember it's own
keyboard
- Class - "special" behavior", each window manager class remember
it's own keyboard. For example, if you switch to Russian in one
of the Kedit, you will get Russian in any other Kedit automatically.
Save Classes
If you select Input for Classes you can save the keyboard to WM Class
association on the end of the each KDE Session and restore it at the
beginning of the KDE Session. For example, if you leave Russian keyboard
in the Kedit window today, you will get it automatically when you login
tomorrow.
You can customize KiKbd button Font and all of the four colors:
- Foreground Color - Color of the Label Text
- Background Color when CapsLock emulation used and current
Caps state is On.
- Background Color while Alt Switch pressed.
