vmpk 0.9.1                                        Dec 24, 2024                                           VMPK(1)

       This manual page documents briefly the vmpk program.

       This program uses standard Qt options.

       Virtual MIDI Piano Keyboard is a MIDI events generator and receiver. It doesn't produce any sound by
       itself, but can be used to drive a MIDI synthesizer (either hardware or software, internal or external).
       You can use the computer's keyboard to play MIDI notes, and also the mouse. You can use the Virtual MIDI
       Piano Keyboard to display the played MIDI notes from another instrument or MIDI file player.

       This manual page was originally written by Mehdi Dogguy <dogguy@pps.jussieu.fr> for the Debian GNU/Linux
       system (but may be used by others).

       qt5options (7)

       The following options apply to all Qt5/6 applications:

       -style=style / -stylestyle
           Set the application GUI style. Possible values depend on the system configuration. If Qt is compiled
           with additional styles or has additional styles as plugins these will be available to the -style
           command line option.

       -stylesheet=stylesheet / -stylesheetstylesheet
           Set the application styleSheet. The value must be a path to a file that contains the Style Sheet.

       -widgetcount
           Print debug message at the end about number of widgets left undestroyed and maximum number of widgets
           existed at the same time.

       -reverse
           Set the application's layout direction to Qt::RightToLeft. This option is intended to aid debugging
           and should not be used in production. The default value is automatically detected from the user's
           locale (see also QLocale::textDirection()).

       -platformplatformName[:options]
           Specify the Qt Platform Abstraction (QPA) plugin.

       -platformpluginpathpath
           Specify the path to platform plugins.

       -platformthemeplatformTheme
           Specify the platform theme.

       -pluginplugin
           Specify additional plugins to load. The argument may appear multiple times.

       -qwindowgeometrygeometry
           Specify the window geometry for the main window using the X11-syntax. For example: -qwindowgeometry
           100x100+50+50

       -qwindowiconicon
           Set the default window icon.

       -qwindowtitletitle
           Set the title of the first window.

       -sessionsession
           Restore the application from an earlier session.

       -displayhostname:screen_number
           Switch displays on X11. Overrides the DISPLAY environment variable.

       -geometrygeometry
           Specify the window geometry for the main window on X11. For example: -geometry 100x100+50+50

       -dialogs=[xp|none]
           Only available for the Windows platform. XP uses native style dialogs and none disables them.

       -fontengine=freetype
           Use the FreeType font engine.

vmpk [options...]

       The following options apply to vmpk only:

       -h|--help
           Displays a help text.

       -v|--version
           Displays version information.

       -p|--portable
           Enables portable settings mode using a default configuration file name.

       -fpath/file.conf
           This option implies --portable as well. Reads and writes path/file.conf as the portable settings
           configuration file name.

           This configuration file is always a text file with INI format, despite the running Operating System
           conventions.
