the base dvorak only have latin letters, but no hats/accents ... after learning classic map, I did not wanted to move to the french one, cause letters were mixed around. => I rewrote a new sub-layout, all based on the classic one, so that light users wont notice any difference, but adding the possibility to produce and hated letter, for all european langages I can think of, from áâà to Ë or ç ß ©® ñ ¢ | ¦ ?¿ !¡ or 1¹ ² ³ ¼ å Å °(degree) and many other ones. Please add this file in the ebuilds, so that when emerging xorg, ppl can get it easily, or better, make a wget of my site so that any one get benefits of any update. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. 2. 3. Specialised Dvorak keyboard settings are quite hard to handle. For example I created an xmodmap-file as an "overlay" to the usual iso-dvorak-layout with fast access to the German Umlaut letters ( Specialised Dvorak keyboard settings are quite hard to handle. For example I created an xmodmap-file as an "overlay" to the usual iso-dvorak-layout with fast access to the German Umlaut letters (ä, ö, ü, ß) on the right alt-key (Alt Gr) and the keys a, o, u, s. If I need other letters (like those you wrote down) I use the compose key located on my right windows key, which you can enable with Option "XkbOptions" "compose:rwin" in the xorg.conf. I don't know how to handle this bug. Personally I vote against to include your version into Gentoo, although you have to enable it in your xorg.conf. Another option would be, that you ask the X.Org developers to accept your keymap officially or split it up for different languages (like the those for Norwegian or Polish dvorak layouts). Please file this upstream at bugs.freedesktop.org and post the URL here. If it's accepted into their CVS, I will be happy to add a patch. Thanks! |
