Thanks Ludo. I'm already doing a bit of custom stuff to get
A+ running
(arguably the largest free APL that still uses the original
characters).
But the question remains: once inside a Lazarus app, can I
hook keycodes
using a custom procedure, translate them to Unicode, and inject them
into the currently-focussed edit-capable control?
Lazarus uses utf8. If your system is also using utf8 you shouldn't be doing
anything special to get these characters inside a control (apart eventually
from the font not being able to display the special characters). If I do a
'setxkbmap -layout ru' on my en_GB.UTF-8 machine, I get russian characters
everywhere, including lcl controls.
Although setxkbmap assumes that somebody with admin rights has set up
the appropriate files: I'm fairly certain that there's not a standard
one for APL (which is, at best, a minority interest). You can do a bit
with xmodmap, but things rapidly start getting messy: X has been rather
halfhearted in its embrace of Unicode.
