Hi I'm trying to create a new keyboard layout with xbd for X11 on Linux for the C'HWERTY Breton keyboard.
This keyboard is a bit unusual because it has a C'H key and pressing this key should result in 3 characters being emitted: C, apostrophe and H. It also has a CH key which should result in 2 characters being emitted: C and H. You can see a photo of this keyboard with the "C'H" and "CH" there: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/9e/Bretona-klavaro.jpg Notice the C'H key for example near the top left, below the 1 and 2 keys. C'H and CH are considered as single letters in Breton but Unicode has no such code for the C'H trigraph or CH digraph (unlike IJ in Dutch for example which is a single character in Unicode). I'm new to creating keyboard layout with X. I'm mostly done. I have created a file in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols/ (Ubuntu-8.10) and associated associate keys to characters with a bunch of lines like these.... ...snip... key <AD07> { [ u, U ] }; key <AD08> { [ i, I ] }; key <AD09> { [ o, O, oe, OE ] }; key <AD10> { [ p, P ] }; ...snip... It mostly works. However, there is one problem which I have not been able to solve yet: --> How to associate multiple characters to a key? (for the C'H and CH keys) Hopefully that's possible. The keyboard works well on Windows, but I'd like to add support and use it with Linux.
