[quoted lines by Didier Spaier on 2014/11/20 at 18:31 +0100] >So we can set LANG to locale name ending in utf.8, good.
Yes. >But what about the keyboard setting? I ask because for Russian we set the >kernel keymap to "ruwin_cplk-UTF-8". I just had a look to the file >/usr/share/kbd/keymaps/i386/qwerty/ruwin_cplk-UTF-8.map.gz >and I see that many keypresses (not surprisingly) translate to UTF-8 >encoded characters, for instance: >altgr keycode 16 = U+0439 >I assume that as long as an UTF-8 locale is used the character will be >properly recognized and processed when coming from a braille device, as >the driver will output the same scancodes as a regular keyboard. >But I want to be 100% sure. Can someone confirm? Yes, you're essentially correct. The reason I'm saying "essentially" is because brltty, depending on various conditions, may insert characters at various levels. The principle, however, is as you describe. -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | The Bible is the very Word of God.
