So, you confirm it's not a hack and it should be implemented like this.
Thanks.
Now, after googling the net I found some refrences regarding a relation
between arabeyes, Isam Bayazidi and Muhammad Sammeer and the Arabic keymap in
xfree86 and hence xorg. There shoud be an email or a name on the file to
refer to like most other keymaps.
The problem I want to address is the layout implemented is not the most public
and I couldn't even find a single keybaord (neither on the net nor on saudi
arabia) with regard to this layout.
So, this is a call to those who were involved in the old implementation to
come and correct me if I am wrong. Afterall we have people here who are
living in different parts of the globe so let's figure out what's the most
common.
The main issues are:
1. applying the mirror property to parenleft/right, bracketleft/right,
braceleft/right.
2. Changing the positon of greater and less to be on jeem and dal:
key <AD11> { [ Arabic_jeem, less ] };
key <AD12> { [ Arabic_dal, greater ] };
3. Changing kasra and kasratan to be on sheen and seen:
key <AC01> { [ Arabic_sheen, Arabic_kasra ] };
key <AC02> { [ Arabic_seen, Arabic_kasratan ] };
4. Addingthe ZWJ, ZWNJ, RTM and LRM
key <AC07> { [ Arabic_teh, Arabic_tatweel, 0x100200d ] };
key <AC09> { [ Arabic_meem, slash, 0x100200e ] };
key <AD04> { [Arabic_qaf, Arabic_dammatan, 0x100200f ] };
5. Removing invalid(?) key <LSGT> { [ bar, brokenbar ] };
6. Other changes are also made due to the previous revamping. If any one is
interested in pasting a complete patch I will do it.
