Create your own personal keyboard layout

[henriquemaia]

I've got a question about this method. When I change my keymap to the following (the rest stays the same):

key <AE08> { [        8,    asterisk, dead_breve ]    };

...

include "level3(ralt_switch)"

the breve (˘) only works with the 'a' (ă), not with other letters. While I actually only need the 'u' with a breve...

Do you have any idea on how to fix this?

Thanks,
Dries

I have tried to use the dead_breve with u here and it don’t work either. I have no clue why is that. Looks like a limitation from xkb (?). Or is it?


EDIT: I don’t know if this helps, but you can edit your file to use ubreve, which will result in the u with ˘. You can also define keys for abreve and gbreve.

Using ubreve works, but only half. Capital U with breve doesn't show up. But thanks for the help anyway.

Using ubreve works, but only half. Capital U with breve doesn't show up. But thanks for the help anyway.

For capital U breve, you have to add Ubreve.

The same applies to Abreve and Gbreve.

Sorry for digging out this thread again, but I have a question:

I want to add ancient greek letters to my keyboard. Do I have to write the Unicode like "03BF" or "omikron"?

Example:

Is it right this way (just an example, not right unicode):

key <BKSL> { [omikron, omikron_capital, omikron_whatthehell, omikron_etc ] };

or this way:

key <BKSL> { [03BF, 031A, 03C2, 03C3 ] };

?

Thanks a lot for your answer...

As far as I know, you use the first (omikron, etc). You don't need the actual codes (that would be really confusing).

Thanks for your answer.

But, what if I want to write a capital omikron, an omikron with spiritus lenis, with spiritus asper...?

Do I have to define them as accents as ^+e=ê? If so, how are the spiriti called? asper and lenis?

And: I also need a Iota Subscriptum, how should I do this???

really confused,

I have the Netbook Remix version of Jaunty, and I have no /etc/X11/xkb/symbols dir; the only thing I have in /etc/X11/xkb/ is /etc/X11/xkb/base.xml. Is there a new way to do this?

Edited to answer: directories have moved to /usr/share/X11/xkb. Hope this helps others.

Very nice tutorial helped me a lot

Though it made me realize that the admin (root) level belongs to the system not the user. There's something evil about that ("Dave, what are you doing Dave?"). But at least I have the basic keys of my layout working.
