Hi, > mkeyb supports a lot of keyboard layouts e.g. "gr" for german etc. > FreeDOS uses the set lang= xy variable for many country related things. > but the gr etc. in mkeyb xy differ from this variable that is used for nls, > help etc.
> Would it be possible to change the country characters in mkeyb e.g. > german from "gr" to "de" and so on so that it is possible to say > "mkeyb %lang%" to get the correct keyboard layout in FD without big problems? absolutely. however (m)KEYB GR has been the way to call it for ages. and it should also be possible for the new users to implement something like set KEYBLANG=%LANG% if %KEYBLANG%==DE set KEYBLANG=GR ... mKEYB %KEYBLANG% > This would be a great help for the users and for Jerome. > If this is not possible for compatibility reasons with other OSes, > e.g. M$, could you create a modified version, e.g. fdkeyb or something like > this? I have definitively no intention to do this. they change above is trivial. > A second proposal, would it be possible to add a turkish keyboard > support? Of course only if this is possible.

I am sure > one of the turkish boys can inform you about the layout etc. do you get the concept of 'open source'? it's about enabling other people to do exactly this change. why not do it (or motivate someone else) yourself? of course you could try to motivate me by offering some money; estimated time requested (with some error correcting back and forth between me and turkish users) is ~ 5-10 hours, depending in specific turkish requirements. > Thank you for reading and thinking about this.
