Hi
I've just started to learn about XKB. Sorry I post my question here if it
is the wrong place, I couldn't find any forum!
I work on a project for local languages in Togo, we're working on 25
languages there (en.globalbility.org). We want to make a new keyboard that
are based on the French one that include symbols for local languages. I've
tested with the XKB system inside Ubuntu and made a first test keybord
(really not final version, just to test it).
I have problem as there are several of the languages use tones on their
symbols like acute accent ( ´ ), grave accent ( *`* ), circumflex ( *ˆ *)
tilde ( *~ *) and macron ( ¯ ) on top of them.
Here are the extra symbols I've added to the keyboard:
ʒ ɛ ǝ ƴ ʋ ɩ ɔ ʊ ɗ ɖ ƒ ɣ ɦ ɲ ɓ ŋ
It should be possible to write them like this (examples from texts we have
produced):
ί ɔ́ ɛ́
ɛ̀ ɔ̀
ɔ̃ ɛ̃ ɔ̃ ĩ
ɛ̄
î
How can I modify these kinds of combination symbols?
I try to click AltGr+` and after AltGr+ɛ to get ɛ̀, but then noting
happens, and after I only get ɛ (without grave accent). Why? Is it because
the keyboard missunderstand when I click AltGr two times? How can I solve
this?
Here is the small file I made to test it:
default partial alphanumeric_keys
xkb_symbols "basic" {
// First we include the whole French keyboard
include "fr"
// We give our new keyboard a name
name[Group1]="French (Togo)";
// Then we start to change the keys on the French keyboard.
// Each key have a unique number.
// Each key have 4 values: default, shift, altgr, shift+altgr (altgr
is the right side 'alt' key)
// First row
// Second row
key <AD02> { [ z, Z, U0292, U01B7 ] }; // U0292 = ʒ
(small), U01B7 = Ʒ (capital)
key <AD03> { [ e, E, U025B, U0190 ] }; // U025B =
ɛ (small), U0190 = Ɛ (capital)
key <AD04> { [ r, R, U01DD, U018E ] }; // U01DD = ǝ
(small), U018E = Ǝ (capital)
key <AD06> { [ y, Y, U01B4, U01B3 ] }; // U01B4 = ƴ
(small), U01B3 = Ƴ (capital)
key <AD07> { [ u, U, U028B, U01B2 ] }; // U028B = ʋ
(small), U01B2 = Ʋ (capital)
key <AD08> { [ i, I, U0269, U0196 ] }; // U0269 = ɩ
(small), U0196 = Ɩ (capital)
key <AD09> { [ o, O, U0254, U0186 ] }; // U0254 = ɔ
(small), U0186 = Ɔ (capital)
// Third row
key <AC01> { [ q, Q, U028A, U01B1 ] }; // U028A = ʊ
(small), U01B1 = Ʊ (capital)
key <AC02> { [ s, S, U0257, U018A ] }; // U0257 = ɗ
(small), U0189 = Ɗ (capital)
key <AC03> { [ d, D, U0256, U0189 ] }; // U0256 = ɖ
(small), U0189 = Ɖ (capital)
key <AC04> { [ f, F, U0192, U0191 ] }; // U0192 = ƒ
(small), U0191 = Ƒ (capital)
key <AC05> { [ g, G, U0263, U0194 ] }; // U0263 = ɣ
(small), U0194 = Ɣ (capital)
key <AC06> { [ h, H, U0266, U0124 ] }; // U0266 = ɦ
(small), U0124 = Ĥ (capital)
key <AC10> { [ m, M, U0272, U019D ] }; // U0272 = ɲ
(small), U019D = Ɲ (capital)
// Fourth row
key <AB05> { [ b, B, U0253, U0181 ] }; // U0253 = ɓ
(small), U0181 = Ɓ (capital)
key <AB06> { [ n, N, U014B, U014A ] }; // U014B = ŋ
(small), U014A = Ŋ (capital)
};
