Except of one question. Where we add these entries? Should we maybe
sort the table somehow, or introduce some more groups of chars?
(I'm fine with applying this to qemu-trivial as-is).
I agree with sorting those entries to groups. But I think this is not a
straightforward task without completely rewriting the current groups
which seems to be a bit chaotic. Maybe what would be a good inspiration
is this libxkbcommon header file (which was probably used as a base data
for the current vnc_keysym.h, too):
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/lib/libxkbcommon/tree/xkbcommon/xkbcommon-keysyms.h
We can convert it into vnc_keysym.h retaining the groups used in
libxkbcommon, there. If you agree I can prepare patch for review.
After a brief discussion with Anthony I think there's no need to do
that at this time, due to a possibility to sort this all (not just
the entries, but whole kbd stuff) using entirely different way.
But I still think it is worth to apply this series for 1.7.
Anthony, can you comment please? Are you willing to accept new keyboard
layout plus a few mods required for it and for other, existing, layouts
to function, together with a possibility to use base unicode chars (Unnnn)?
It all can go away in 1.8 or later when proper keyboard handling
hopefully will be in place...
Thanks,
